All the knowledge about survival that Murray knew was gained through his own wounds.
She taught him these things as if she was worried about his survival. But she should know that she was much weaker than him, and such worry was strange.
"Muri, how many copper coins do you want for two glasses of ale and a steak?"
A woman's patient question came from the side.
Sitting in the bumpy car, Murray subconsciously began to count on his fingers.
The sun was not so scorching, and they were already on their way. The caravan was following behind them, not too far away.
Murray paid no attention to them. He was busy settling accounts and felt very embarrassed. She had already asked him three questions.
Meili waited for him to calculate for a long time before she got his answer, "... eighty-five copper coins."
"You got it right!" Meili's eyes lit up and she laughed, "Muri, you're so smart. You got it right again!"
Murray crossed his arms and said grimly, "It's very simple. You can ask me another question."
Mary: "Really? Then let me ask you another question. If the two of us go out to eat, you order a glass of beer and three steaks, and I order a steak and a glass of beer, how much will we pay in total?"
Murray regretted what he had just said. Listening to Mary's question, he wrinkled his nose and looked at his fingers.
This is too difficult.
Meili smiled maliciously, quietly took out a small piece of candy, put it into the water bag and shook it. When Murray finally answered the question again, she handed the water bag to him and said, "You've worked too hard, drink some water."
Murray took a sip and said in a surprisingly upbeat tone, "Sweet!"
He really likes sweet food. He sounds so cute. Meili noticed that he shook his head twice and became happy too. She held her chin and smiled: "Yes, it's really sweet this time."
Murray looked at the kettle and gave it back to her, but refused to say another word.
Mary felt that he seemed a little shy, and when they stopped to rest at night, he sat with his back to her, with his arms crossed in a cold posture, as if he didn't even want to sleep.
Murray did not sleep that night, because he could hear the caravan following them. The caravan stopped not far from them, and after midnight, there were still people squatting nearby to peek, which was a bit annoying.
As long as the profit is enough, the caravan will occasionally do what the bandits do.
It was really because the monster armor was too ostentatious, and the caravan owner knew the value of that thing. What's more, when Muri bought candy, he took out a bag of gold coins, showing his wealth.
Killing two people and making a lot of money for free, this business is quite profitable.
The caravan boss woke up from a nap and prepared to receive the fruits of victory, only to find that the people he sent out last night had not returned. When he sent someone to look for the two people, they had already left.
Mary didn't know what happened last night. She was always under Muri's protection and was safe.
"That caravan didn't come with us today." She looked back but didn't care too much.
Turning back to tease Murray, he asked, "Do we still need to count today?"
Murray said seriously, "If you didn't buy anything, don't count it."
"Okay." Meili guessed that he definitely didn't want to give up, so she thought of another way. She took out a small bag, which contained a large handful of nuts that she had accidentally picked up last night.
"Muri, catch it!" She threw a nut over, and Murri looked straight ahead without even looking and just stretched out his hand to catch it.
Seeing him catch it, Meili began to count: "One."
The second one he threw was a little off, and Murray still looked straight ahead unmoved, but when he stretched out his foot and kicked it, the nut bounced right into his hand.
Mellie: “Two.”
"Three."
…
Meili slowly counted more than a hundred, and no matter how she threw, Murray could catch them. He caught a large handful of nuts, and Meili held the empty bag and said, "You can count these. It's easy with more practice."
We can't ask him to count his fingers all the time, because that would take too long. Besides, he is very smart, and after learning it, he will never be fooled again.
As she was thinking about this, she saw Murray grab the pile of nuts and stuff them into his mouth, biting them with a crunching sound.
After finishing the pile of nuts she had prepared for him to count, he said, "... count for me."
He was still looking ahead, not looking at her.
Mary thought, it seemed that he was really afraid of her question.
"All right," she said, "as long as I'm with you, I'll help you count."
Once again, Murray felt that women were really good.
However, the little bear did not realize that he had met several human women, but the only woman he felt was good was Merry.
The caravan, which had lost most of its guards, fled to the nearest city in a panic. The owner of the caravan failed to obtain the magic armor he wanted, but lost his guards and was almost robbed by a small bandit group.
He gnashed his teeth in hatred, and found a temple in the city. He suddenly had an idea. He ordered a servant to go to the temple and tell them that he encountered a monster on the way - he did not say that the monster had been killed.
The appearance of Warcraft nearby at this time is a big deal. The people in the temple must go out to deal with it. Once they go out, they will not return empty-handed. As long as they see the killed Warcraft, they must bring back the Warcraft armor.
When it comes to Warcraft, most of the time the problem has to be solved by the Holy Temple. Whenever Warcraft is involved and discovered by the Holy Temple, it is a tacit understanding that they will take advantage.
He wanted to make those two damn bastards pay the price, even if it was just to make them lose some of their property.
When the temple received the news of the monster's appearance, more than a dozen warriors and two black-robed priests went out of the city to search for it soon.
The soldiers at the city gate quickly made way for the group of people when they saw them, and as they closed the gate they muttered, "They are leaving at this time, is there a monster outside?"
"Definitely. If it weren't for the monsters, this group of people wouldn't have gone out. They usually practice hard in the temple."
"Come on, what's the point of doing penance? Haven't you heard that the people in the temple secretly drink and sleep with women?"
"Don't say that. If they hear you, you'll be in trouble!"
"That's right. They kill so many monsters every year that they can sell them for a lot of gold coins. They also ask ordinary people like us to donate money from time to time, but they use it for private eating, drinking and entertainment."
A group of Templar warriors left the city and chased after the monster on horseback for a long time without seeing any trace of it. A hot-tempered warrior shouted, "Where did the monster come from? The ring didn't even react. Could that guy be lying to us?"
Another person consoled him: "Who dares to lie to us? Are you trying to save your life? The Ring of Punishment didn't react. It's probably because it's too far away. Maybe the monster has already run away."
"Since we've escaped, let's go back." The only female warrior in the group lazily shouted to the front: "Two priests, let's go around and go back, so we don't have to sleep outside at night."
A priest looked back at the warriors disapprovingly, "Everyone, be serious. I do sense the presence of a demon beast."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They thought it was fake, but they didn't expect there was a real monster. What kind of monster would come here at this season
"Really? Where is it? Why is our Ring of Punishment not responding?"
A priest was holding a rice-shaped bracelet with thorn patterns carved on it, meditating and saying, "The aura of this demon beast is somewhat special, so don't be careless."
He opened his eyes and pointed in a direction, "Over there!"
Mei Li was looking at the sunset, and suddenly saw Muri next to him stand up and look back.
She couldn't help but look back. There was nothing there but a road and more and more rugged rocks on both sides.
But just a moment later, she heard the rapid sound of horse hooves. There were many stones around, and the echoes were deafening.
Meili soon saw the group of people on horseback, both men and women, led by two old men in black robes, galloping towards her. She thought they would pass by them, but they stopped around them and surrounded them.
They don't look like robbers. Mary thought, besides robbers, there are other people who come to rob people. This is really a dangerous world.
Murray sat there motionless.
The group of people also stared at him motionlessly.
"A magical beast..." said an old man in the lead, looking at Muri.
Mary thought of the Warcraft Armor in the car and thought that someone was here to steal it.
But why are they all staring at Murray
"This is the first time I've seen a monster disguised as a human." After the old man finished speaking, a young warrior behind him rushed over with a knife in his hand and headed straight for Muri.
This young warrior was different from all the bandits he had encountered before. He was very strong and agile, and he dodged two of Murri's attacks.
Murray didn't seem to have any intention of killing him, and for some reason he was a little hesitant in his movements.
As he hesitated, two more people pounced on him and trapped him in the middle.
They were all concentrating on dealing with Murray, and no one paid attention to Meili next to them. Meili had just figured out what the old man meant by that, and stared at Murray with a look of understanding and surprise.
Seeing Murray in trouble, she took two steps forward worriedly.
The soldiers behind her also rushed forward. Some of them thought she was in the way and kicked her cart away, cursing, "Ordinary people, get out of our way."
Mary was caught off guard and fell off the shaft of the cart with a scream.
Muri, who was in the crowd, heard the sound, turned his head to look, suddenly crouched down, blocked all the swords and knives that were coming at him, swept his legs down, broke out of the encirclement of several people, jumped over the cart and picked up Mary.
"Want to run? Stop!"
The soldiers caught up with them, and Murray kicked a large cart out, causing it to roll over and crush them. A few soldiers who were waiting leisurely on the other side saw this and surrounded them.
Murray was stopped by these people and stopped running forward. His tone was a little annoyed and impatient, "I don't want to kill you."
"What? The monster can talk!" The female warrior scratched her head and turned to ask the priest, "What kind of monster is this? How can it talk? Did we recognize the wrong one?"
The solemn priest who had remained silent the entire time said, "No, if I'm not mistaken, he should be the offspring of a monster and a human."
A male warrior clicked his tongue twice, "This is the first time I've heard that humans and monsters can have children. This sounds weird and disgusting."
Another soldier laughed and said, "Hurry up and catch this little monster. Let's see what humans and monsters can produce!"
They were all warriors who had killed many monsters. They didn't take the little monster hiding in human clothes in front of them seriously at all. They pointed at him and talked and laughed.
Murray picked up Meili and reiterated for the second time: "I don't want to kill you, get out of the way."
