Huishi Town is built on the mountain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and has only one road to enter and exit. This road is not wide, and can only accommodate two carriages running in parallel.
At this moment, a fallen carriage was lying on the road. A group of merchants were stopped and were trying to help the carriage up. Pedestrians coming and going were also blocked on the road, unable to advance or retreat. The scene was chaotic for a while, with shouts, curses, and quarrels mixed together. There were even some angry people who were already gearing up and seemed to be about to start a fight.
"Why is it so troublesome!" Gerald frowned and leaned over. Although the crowd was noisy, when they saw such a huge man approaching, they still honestly parted ways and made way for him.
But he didn't know that there was a pair of malicious eyes staring at him among the crowd.
This "car accident" on the road was actually arranged by the vice president of the Thieves Guild of Huishi Town in order to test the giant's strength and character. He has always been cautious in everything he does, and will never take action easily before he knows the details of his target.
The carriage that fell was a truck, and it was filled with iron ore and the like. Although the goods were scattered all over the floor, the car body was not broken, which showed that the materials used were quite solid. However, the horse pulling the cart had been injured and fell to the ground unable to get up.
Gerald frowned, walked over and grabbed the frame of the carriage with one hand, and with a little force he turned the carriage and half of the cargo over. The people around were stunned, and some even pinched their cheeks with their hands, thinking they were dreaming.
This carriage is made of a lot of materials. The load-bearing parts such as the shaft are made of hardwood as thick as an arm, and the cargo on the carriage is made of ore, which is famous for its heavy weight. I'm afraid this cart and cargo might weigh three to four thousand kilograms. However, in front of this giant, it seemed as if it was light and weightless and could be lifted with one hand.
"This guy is so strong!" someone exclaimed.
"He is truly a giant!" someone praised.
Some experienced adventurers were even more surprised - the giants are naturally strong, but even the best among the giants, known as the "mountain giants", can usually only carry two to three thousand kilograms. It is absolutely impossible to turn over half a car of goods with the car together with ease!
In other words, this big guy is not only a giant, but also an adventurer of a high level.
Senior adventurers are often much more powerful than ordinary people. However, they are even more powerful than ordinary people. Even among adventurers, only some people who place special emphasis on strength can do this. If you consider that the strength of this thousand catty is more than that of an ordinary giant, it will be even more terrifying.
Because... the more outstanding the race is innately, the slower it will grow...
Seeing Gerald's performance, "Gray Eyes" shivered in fright and felt that his legs were a little weak. At this moment, he was extremely glad that he only brought a few thieves and not the thugs from the Thieves Guild. Otherwise, those bastards with muscles growing into their heads might plot against Gerald when he came to the front of the carriage.
What's the difference between that and committing suicide
Not to mention that this big guy is a powerful adventurer of the giant race. Even if he is an ordinary race, the strength of this thousand kilograms alone is enough to prove his power. "Quick Knife" brother? Even if the entire Huishi Town Thieves Guild, old and young, come together, they may not be able to win...
Gerald didn't know that someone was plotting against him, nor did he know how much shock his terrifying power had brought to the enemy. His attention at the moment was focused on the old horse that fell to the ground.
The horse was gray and gray, with many old and new scars on its body, showing that it had gone through a lot of hardships. It was trying to stand up, but to no avail. If you look closely, it seems that your back has been broken. The two hind legs can no longer move, but the front legs are still struggling. The eyes are full of pain and misery, which makes people feel pity.
Gerald sighed. With such an injury, neither the human nor the horse could be saved. All that could be done was to relieve the pain.
Since his resurrection, he has become more and more able to feel the pain of others, and his compassion has grown day by day. However, no matter how sympathetic he was, he could not help the poor animal.
"You want to save it?" Sui Xiong asked.
Gerald was taken aback and asked: "Your Majesty, are you willing to save this poor guy?"
Sui Xiong smiled: "To be honest, I don't have much sympathy for animals, but if you want to save it, I am willing to help you."
"Your Majesty, your kindness is as warm as the sun!"
"Okay, stop flattering and put your hand on the injured part of the horse. I will mobilize your magic power with the help of the bone bracelet to help it heal." Sui Xiong said with a smile, "To be honest, this guy's injury is a bit serious. I’m not very sure, but I can always give it a try, it’s better than leaving it to die.”
Under Sui Xiong's command, Gerard squatted down and pressed his right hand with a bone bracelet on the gray horse's back. Then the blood in his body stirred up, mobilizing part of the magic power stored in the magic core and seeping into the gray horse's body. Under Sui Xiong's precise control, these magical powers are like small and ingenious machines, straightening the injured and dislocated bones of the gray horse one by one, reconnecting the broken muscles, blood vessels and nerves, and finally transforming them into abundant vitality. Moisturize its body, promote body growth, and regrow the injured parts.
Just half a minute later, the dying gray horse let out a long and cheerful neigh and stood up again.
"Oh my God! What did I see?!" someone was exclaiming.
"Is this big guy a priest? Are there priests among the giants?" A senior adventurer couldn't help but doubt his own eyes.
"And... the priest's healing spells come from gods. Which god is so philanthropic that he would spend his power on healing a horse? Is he the centaur god?"
"Bah! The centaur god is a demon, okay! He only asks his followers to capture people for blood sacrifice..."
"Is it a druid?"
"I've never heard of giants and druids..."
"But I've never heard of giants having priests."
"Druids don't know how to cast spells to save an old horse. They can only help the old horse free itself. Have you ever had any contact with druids?"
In the crowd, the gray eyes were as wide as pigeon eggs, staring intently at the bone bracelet on Gerald’s wrist.
Just now, because he had to assist Gerald in casting spells, Sui Xiong's power came out from the bone bracelet, and he saw some clues about it.
"There is an extremely powerful thought on that bracelet, so powerful that it can even cast healing spells! No, that is not an ordinary healing spell, it is a restoration spell, which can heal broken bones and muscle tears, and can even heal broken bones. The magic of reattaching the hands and feet! The horse's spine must have been broken before, but it was healed so quickly... This giant is not some ghost priest, he is a favored one! It was the god he believed in who took action just now! That bone bracelet is the sacred object of their sect! Oh my god, I actually want to steal a sacred object with the mind of the true god! Fortunately, I haven't done it yet... It must be the Golden Finger (the god of thieves) who is blessing me and letting me No fatal mistake was made…”
He suddenly woke up and hurriedly closed his eyes, not daring to look at the bone bracelet that contained the god's will, and turned away directly. Before leaving, he did not forget to send a message to his subordinates to ask them to retreat together.
After a while, he returned to the Thieves Guild in Huishi Town and reported the matter to the president with a pale face.
"What?! A sacred object that embodies the thoughts of the true God?!" The usually calm old man was so frightened that his heartbeat stopped for half a beat, "Are you sure you read it correctly?"
"Absolutely not wrong!" the vice-president assured categorically, "President, think about it, you can heal a broken spine in just a few words. What kind of magic is this?"
Without waiting for the president to speak, he continued: "Restoration! It is a divine spell that is more advanced than treatment and healing. Ordinary priests cannot cast it at all. Even powerful priests must hold the Holy Emblem and pray. It takes a while to cast it. And what about the Druids? It will only take them longer to cast this spell - but the giant directly omitted this process... This is completely unreasonable. The only explanation is that he was not the one who cast the spell at all. , but the thoughts inside the bone bracelet."
"Perhaps... that bone bracelet is a powerful magic item that can produce a therapeutic effect equivalent to that of restoration..." the president said thoughtfully, "Although I have never heard of such a magical item, maybe the druids can Let’s make something like this…”
Gray eyes shook his head repeatedly and asked: "President, no matter how powerful the magic item is, the number of times it can be cast per day is limited. For the restoration spell, it is probably only once or twice a day. If you have such a treasure, you Would he waste the one or two opportunities he has every day to treat a horse?”
"of course not!"
"Yes, no one will. Even the most philanthropic people will never dare to waste like this when they are about to leave the town and step into the wilderness." The vice president sighed and said, "Who can be so careless about waste? There are only those great beings with endless divine magic.”
For a moment, there was silence in the hut. The first and second leaders of the Thieves Guild in Huishi Town looked at me, and I looked at you, looking at each other.
After a while, the president laughed dryly and said, "Fortunately... we haven't had time to start yet."
"Yes! Fortunately, we didn't have time to take action." The vice president said happily, "Thank God!"
"Wait a minute... I have another idea." The cunning president rolled his eyes, but then he had a bad idea, "You said... what will happen if we reveal part of the news to our old rivals? ?”
The gray eyes gradually brightened, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, smiling.
"President, this is such a brilliant idea! With the greed and viciousness of those guys, they will definitely attack this lone giant..."
"Otherwise I am the president and you are just the vice-president!" The president also laughed, "I can't wait to see those bastards hit their heads on rocks and get bloody heads!"
Inside the hut, two cunning foxes laughed together.
On the road outside the town, Sui Xiong was warning Gerald: "Be careful, someone was spying on you just now, and I'm afraid they want to plot against you. It was only later that I saw that you were extraordinary, so I retreated."
His perception ability was much stronger than Gerald's, and he noticed the hostility of the Thieves Guild almost from the beginning. It's just that since the other party didn't turn hostility into murderous intent and took no actual action, he was too lazy to take action.
But if you don't take action, you won't take action. Necessary reminders are still indispensable.
He found Gerald, a bald guy (no, actually no longer bald), more and more pleasing to his eye, and of course he didn't want anything unexpected to happen to this capable man.
In fact, he has discovered that it seems, seems, maybe... Gerald is actually very powerful!
