"I know! So, I absolutely cannot marry her!" Sherlock's expression was very excited, his attitude was very firm, and his breathing was rapid. "To this day, I still know how badly I was beaten by her when I was a child! At that time, she was just A little child, and now she has become a level two wizard! If I marry her, I will be beaten even worse!"
"Don't jump to conclusions so hastily." The old man sighed and said to Sherlock calmly: "People will change. The Kanna family has said that Caroline has become very kind now and won't... Well, I won’t hit anyone casually.”
"I don't believe it!" Sherlock looked like he was not trying to lie to me. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Why do you have to marry me? According to the order, Caroline should marry Iloh, right. Yes, You should marry Iroh. When he was a child, he was bullied the most by Caroline. Maybe he still misses her now, so let him marry her!"
A man who looked similar to Sherlock and was about the same age suddenly stood up. First, he glared at Sherlock fiercely, and then said, "I can't marry Caroline because I have been preparing to go out to practice with Master Torre for at least a year. time.
The experience is very dangerous, and I can’t guarantee whether I can come back safely, so naturally I can’t marry Caroline. In this case, it is you who should marry Caroline. Whether you like it or not, marry her because it is related to the interests of the family. You have never done anything for the family, now you should make some sacrifices, my dear brother-Sherlock! "
"You!" Sherlock glared at the other person, not expecting him to be so cruel.
"Okay, okay." The old man sitting in the seat spoke again, as if he had made a decision, and said seriously to Sherlock, "Sherlock, you heard what Iroh said. As your obligation to the family, you must marry Caroline. By the way, let me remind you that the dowry prepared by the Kana family for Caroline has arrived in Tok City and will be delivered here soon. You don’t have much time, so prepare well."
"I-" Sherlock pursed his lips and stopped talking. His eyes kept moving in his sockets, not knowing what he was thinking.
…
At about the same time, Gallie, who had mostly subsided but was still bruised and swollen, arrived in front of a busy city.
Looking up at the city gate, there are three words on it: Tok City.
Gritting his teeth hard, Gallie said fiercely: "I don't believe it anymore. Can't I get ahead after leaving the city where I was born? I failed once because I had no vision, and failed twice because I overestimated those weaklings. Courage, will I fail three times? No, definitely not! This city, this Tok City, is where I rise! Yes, it is where I rise!"
After speaking, Tok strode into the city.
…
The four-color Mansi flower sprouts from the moist soil, emerges from the ground, and blooms with small yellow flowers in its first color.
There was still a bit of chill in the air, and the coldness of winter had not completely dissipated. The sound of horse hooves could be heard on the road leading from the port to the land.
"Da da da… "
A young man, wearing a gray cloak, was riding quickly on horseback.
Behind the pile of rocks on the roadside, Gallie slowly raised his head, revealing his eyes, watching the other party approaching, and swallowed nervously.
He had to be nervous. This was his first robbery, and it was also the first time in his career that he left the city where he was born to show off his talents.
Come on, come on, let you be Uncle Gallie, the first person to be robbed. Don't worry, Uncle Gallie is very kind-hearted. As long as you cooperate obediently, I only want money, not your life.
Gallie thought secretly in his heart, clenched a rusty short knife in his hand, and stared at the people and horses running towards him.
Closer, closer.
Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters, five meters!
"Stop, rob!"
Gallie shouted, rushed out, and slashed into the air with all his strength, threatening.
His action had a very good effect, and he saw the man on the horse suddenly pulled the reins of the horse, stopped the horse, and looked at him with a complicated expression.
Is the other party afraid? Yes, you must be afraid!
Jialie thought with certainty and felt at ease.
…
Richard, who was riding on the horse, raised his eyebrows. After looking at the robber who suddenly jumped out for a long time, he finally confirmed that the other party was not joking with him.
In fact, he saw the other party hiding behind the pile of rocks from a distance. He was originally wondering what the other party was doing, but he really didn't expect that the other party was preparing to rob him - rob him of a wizard.
what is this? You think his journey is boring, do you want to change it up
In other words, after getting rid of the novelist who was hiding his identity and arriving at the port in a big ship, Sherlock separated from him. On the one hand, it takes a lot of time for the other party to unload the goods from the big ship. On the other hand, it would take more time for the other party to organize a convoy, hire enough guards to protect the convoy, and escort him and the goods back to his family.
Naturally, he would not wait for the other party all the time, and then separate from the other party and go on the road alone.
In the first few days, a person was indeed a little bored, but it didn't have much impact on him. In recent days, based on the knowledge he gained from the Black Spirit King, he has been studying a very interesting and useful topic, so there really is no need for any adjustments.
But the other party still showed up.
So... let's solve it as soon as possible without wasting too much time.
Richard thought and looked at the robber who came out.
You can see that the other party is wearing a piece of rough linen clothes and trying to look fierce, but it is not fierce, but it is a bit funny.
The other party held a knife, slowly approached, and kept talking. I don't know whether it was a threat or the reason for the robbery: "Boy, don't blame me, you are unlucky if you run into me, I have to steal your things! Because I'm very poor, but I don't want to stay poor like this, so I left the city where I was born to start a business, so I'm going to make a lot of money to do business, so I'm going to rob you!"
After hearing this, Richard's eyes flashed. To be honest, he had never seen such a robber so confidently. Originally, he was preparing to throw a fireball, but now he was preparing to change his approach.
The other party came closer and closer: "Boy, hand over your things quickly! Don't say you have no money, I have poisonous eyes. I can see that you have at least five... no, ten gold coins! Hand it over quickly, as long as Hand it over and I'll... Phew!"
Richard suddenly took action.
With a flick of his finger, the water vapor in the air quickly condensed into an ice cone as thick as a finger, which passed through the opponent's crotch like lightning and punched a hole in the opponent's pants.
"Huh?" The other party was stunned, feeling a little cold on his crotch, and touched it subconsciously. He was a little unable to react, and looked at Richard and asked, "What did you do to me?"
Richard said nothing and flicked his fingers again.
Once, twice, three times.
"Boohoo!"
Three ice picks flew out, flew past the opponent's face, and hit the large rock behind.
"Wow!"
The stone cone shattered when it hit the stone, but three deep holes also appeared in the stone.
The robber looked at it, swallowed hard, turned to look at Richard, his face changed drastically, and he struggled to say: "You... you are a wizard?!"
Richard did not answer, but looked at the other person and said: "You said that your vision is very poisonous, but from the fact that you chose me as your robbery target, it can be seen that your vision is not poisonous, but rather poor. In addition to your vision, Your brain also needs to be improved. How many robbers have you seen who robbed alone? If there is a next chance, you should find more people. Of course, you may not have a next chance."
After hearing this, the robber's face turned pale and he trembled: "You want to kill me?"
"I originally wanted to do this, but..." Richard glanced at the other person, his eyes stayed on the other person's pants for a while, and said, "But... now it seems that it is not necessary. The ice pick just now can be used as a This is a warning to you, I hope you won’t let me see you again, otherwise... believe me, the results will be very bad."
After speaking, Richard hit his horse hard, left quickly, and disappeared into the distance.
It was not until Richard had left for a long time that the robber Jialie dared to move. His whole body was wet from the sweat caused by fear. The wettest part is the pants under the crotch, which are dripping water to the ground, one drop after another.
That is...
It’s sweat too!
Gallie roared in his heart, looked around and saw no one around, shrunk his neck and left quickly. I kept thinking about Richard's words: Are there too few people? Do you need someone to rob you? Is this why it failed? So…
…
