Originally, he just planned to have a taste of the envoy of the God of Hunting and Slaughter, but in the end, Lei Ge broke down in tears and bowed his head. The prompt "loyalty plus one hundred" appeared above his head, which surprised Sui Xiong. surprise.

Things in this world are really unpredictable...

For example, he was ready to fight the envoy of the God of Hunting and Slaughter. However, he did not encounter the envoy until he escorted the caravan to the next town, and even when everyone continued to move all the way to Golden Tower City. Any attacker.

Has the "Cruel Hunter" changed his temper? Are you going to turn the war with Sui Xiong into friendship and make everyone laugh and get rich together

Sui Xiong secretly shook his head. There is no such thing as "changing nature" among gods. Their "character" is dominated by their priesthood and domain. The gods are not devoid of humanity, but humanity needs to give in to divinity. The God of Hunting and Slaughter has vocations or fields related to cruelty, killing, revenge, etc., among which killing is one of the main vocations. This means that it is absolutely impossible for Him to "turn an enemy into friendship". After having a conflict with Him, either If you surrender, you can either defeat him or force him to retreat. There is no third option.

He is not afraid of fighting the God of Hunting and Slaughter. The God himself is not very powerful, and he does not have a strong backer behind him. Although he theoretically belongs to the orc pantheon, he is not an orc, and is only a marginal figure in the orc pantheon. If you fight normally, you are unlikely to provoke other gods of the orc pantheon.

And if one-on-one, the God of Hunting and Slaughter is just a weak god, probably a little more advanced than the gatekeeper of the Dark Night God who likes to find little girls to be his priests. Sui Xiong really doesn't fear him at all. .

But no matter what, no one is looking for trouble, which is a good thing after all.

"Two balls of fire!" Steele happily looked at the two balls of blue light swaying gently on the back of her right hand, and couldn't help but smile.

Along the way, they helped many passers-by who encountered monsters. Lei's martial arts skills certainly shined, and Steele's healing spells were also very useful. Every time she treated an injured person, she would get people's thanks. Little by little, she accumulated two balls of blue fire.

"But there are still ten fires left!" After Steele smiled, she looked at the ten spaces left on the back of her hand and sighed.

During this period, the number of injured people she had treated probably reached three digits, and she even used the resurrection spell twice. However, the amount of blue fire she had saved was only so small, which made her a little anxious.

"Your Majesty Mask of the Void, is there something wrong with the measurement of this blue fire?" After thinking carefully, she couldn't help but protested to Sui Xiong, "When I rescued the caravan last time, I only cured so much. I just got a ball of blue fire. I have treated so many people during this period, why did I only get one ball?"

"The Fire of Virtue is not calculated by how many people you heal, but how many people you help." Sui Xiong explained, "That caravan has a lot of people, and you and General Lei are about to be slaughtered right before your eyes." Saving them from a crisis is a great virtue in itself. Although the number of people you treated during this period is quite large, the total number is probably similar to that of a caravan. Each one has his own fire of virtue, which is reasonable."

Steele suddenly understood, nodded and sat next to him, lost in thought.

Since the fire of virtue was ignited on the back of her right hand, her thoughts have changed somewhat. In addition to routine sex, she has also devoted a lot of attention to how to accumulate the fire of virtue.

Of course Sui Xiong was happy to see this happen. He gave Steele this red and blue flame in order to restrain her desires while inducing her to be active in doing good. Now that I see that she is indeed showing signs of kindness, how can I not be happy

Compared with Steele, Lei's changes were more obvious.

Since swearing allegiance to Sui Xiong that day, his whole temperament has been changing, exuding a cheerful and lively atmosphere, like a tree weighed down by stones, finally relieved of the burden on his head, and full of energy.

When passing through a town, he even made a special trip to the town's magic tower and found a senior mage to transform his leather armor.

When he came back, the black leather armor had turned white, and he no longer looked vicious, but rather kind.

Not only that, he also began to pay attention to his appearance. He would comb his hair neatly and tidy up his clothes every day, no longer as unkempt as before.

Especially now, every move he makes often shows a certain elegance, even when he is fighting fierce battles with monsters. It makes people feel that this is not an adventurer who licks blood with his sword head, but a wandering knight who acts chivalrously and righteously. .

The only drawback is that he hasn't found a suitable mount yet, but this matter has already begun to take shape. Not long ago, he caught a bronze-crowned flying dragon and is now slowly taming it.

"Actually, the copper-crowned flying dragon is not a very good mount." One day, while tossing the ferocious monster over and over, subduing it through this seemingly playful method, he said to Sui Xiong, "They can't fly very well." Even though it’s very fast, its torso strength isn’t very strong either. It’s mainly powerful because of its fangs and teeth—but I don’t have any use for their own combat power, so it’s completely wasted.”

"What kind of mount is the most suitable?" Sui Xiong asked.

"Of course it's still a war horse!" Lei said with a smile, "The lance skills I'm good at are designed for horseback riding. Although riding other horses is not impossible, after all, riding a horse is the most suitable and can best utilize my lance skills."

"But... it's not easy to find a horse that I can ride and fight on!"

During this period, every time he visited a town, he would visit the merchants in the city and ask if there were any good horses for sale. He also saw several good and famous horses. However, those horses are more reflected in intelligence or speed, and are slightly less "strong" - what Lei needs is not some psychic horse or a wind-chasing BMW, he wants a strong tall horse that can carry him and his teammates. The power of level masters to fight on horseback.

But of course such a war horse can only be found but not sought. In desperation, he had no choice but to focus on the monsters.

This copper-crowned flying dragon, which would cause panic in a small town, was his second best option.

But the copper-crowned flying dragon is really not an easy creature to tame. Until they arrived at Golden Tower City, this guy still had no change in his ferocious nature. It does not reject the knight Lei, but as long as it finds an opportunity, it wants to get violent and hurt people.

If Lei was still the lone thief back then, he wouldn't mind riding a ferocious beast—the one-horned velociraptor he rode back then was also a ferocious beast and could help him in battle. But now he is a knight. How can a knight who is chivalrous and helpful, how can he ride a ferocious beast

Maybe one day if I'm not careful, this bastard will eat pedestrians on the roadside...

"If it doesn't work, I can only ask Your Majesty to take action and put a tight ring on this guy." When they crossed the city gate and entered the Golden Tower City, Lei hit the bronze crown flying dragon on the head with one hand, threatening this guy not to allow it. He thought as he opened his mouth to the guards next to him who looked very strong and chewy.

Golden Pagoda City is a very ordinary small city in the Mystic Tower Federation. It is located in the central and western part of the Federation, almost close to the border. From here, walk west for about a week, from the plateau to the plains, and you will reach the Principality of Thunder—a country attached to the Mystic Tower Federation, famous for its planting industry and minerals.

As a small city, Jinta City is slightly smaller than Green Tree City. Before entering the city, Sui Xiong specially searched with his soul sensor and determined that the owner of the magic tower in the center of the town had not yet entered the legendary realm and was just a high-level mage.

The security in Jinta City is not very good, and it doesn't look prosperous. There were not many pedestrians on the street, but there were quite a few adventurers coming and going. Apart from the golden magic tower in the center of the town, the most eye-catching thing is probably the gallows lined up outside the city gate.

More than one withered corpse was hanging on the gallows, swaying in the wind.

"I feel a little uncomfortable in this town." Sui Xiong said, "I always feel that there are not many good people here, and bad people are everywhere..."

"Every town has their own way of life, and you shouldn't force your own preferences on others." Lei advised, "We are just here to recruit the Parn Knight. After inviting him, we will leave. This How people in this town live has nothing to do with us.”

"But shouldn't we do something?" Sui Xiong noticed a child on the side of the road trying to steal something from a drunk adventurer, and couldn't help but frowned, "There's something wrong with the situation here!"

Before he finished speaking, the adventurer was alarmed. He grabbed the child's right arm with his thick palm and twisted it. The unlucky thief screamed and fell out - accompanied by the sound of broken bones.

The drunken adventurer cursed and walked away, leaving only the little pickpocket with broken bones lying on the ground wailing in pain, unable to stand up.

There were pedestrians walking by on the roadside, but no one looked at him twice, and no one showed the slightest pity.

"Although he is a thief, this... is a bit too much!" Sui Xiong couldn't help but mutter, "A beating is enough, but even the bones are broken!"

"That's not necessarily true. Your Majesty, you may not have noticed that the crimes of the prisoners who were hanged were actually written on those gallows just now, and more than one of them was theft." Lei shook his head and sighed softly, "Probably. In this town, stealing is a capital crime."

"You will die if you steal something? It's too bad..."

"Who knows... maybe the lord of this town has his own ideas." Ray said, "The lord has the power to make and enforce laws according to his own wishes, as long as they do not conflict with the laws of his superior lord. As far as I know , There seems to be no clause in the laws of the Mystic Tower Federation that says ‘Thieves are not allowed to be executed’, so the local lord’s rule of ‘hanging thieves’ is completely legal.”

"This legal system is really bad!" Sui Xiong complained and asked Steele to go over and treat the child.

Steele's spell was very effective and easily restored the young pickpocket's health. He tremblingly thanked the elder sister who looked very elegant and charming, and then hurried away.

"A child who knows how to express gratitude when receiving favors is quite good." Steele returned to Sui Xiong and commented, "I think he seems to be educated and knowledgeable. I don't know how he could become a thief..."

"Are you interested in helping him?" Ray asked.

Steele thought for a while and shook her head: "Everyone has their own life. Even if we want to help, we can only help in an emergency. If every down-and-out person wants to help, it is not something that ordinary people can do. It can be done.”

Sui Xiong was upset by these words. He waved his tentacles and asked everyone to leave quickly and find someone to ask about Knight Parn's residence.

He has made up his mind to find Knight Parn, convince him to join his church, and then leave immediately without staying in this terrible city for another day!
