Chapter 147, Chapter 148
Big Hood had slowly put his fifth arrow on his bow and aimed it at the heart protector on Charlie's chest.
At the critical moment, Charlie gritted his teeth, fully drew the bow, and shot the last arrow - the arrow did not fly in the direction of the big hood, but instead, pointed directly at the extinguished wax lump on the ground.
"Bang!" The arrow shot by the big hood had been nailed to the heart guard on Charlie's chest. At the same time, Charlie's arrow had hit the wax lump on the ground. The flame was suddenly cut off and the wax liquid splashed everywhere.
, all the spectators gathered around the candle were frightened by the sudden arrow and backed away, and collapsed on the snow.
"Time's up!" Charlie shouted to Big Hood. Big Hood's hand that pulled the bowstring again stopped in mid-air. He looked doubtfully at the small pile of wax lumps with arrows on the ground not far away, and then looked at Charlie in surprise.
Go and say: "What are you doing!"
Charlie smiled and said: "Five minutes is just the approximate time of the competition. You just said: 'Based on the burning time of the candle, the extinguishing of the candle means the end of time.' I believe everyone present heard it."
"After speaking, the audience nodded repeatedly. The big hood did indeed say such a thing. Charlie pointed to the wax lump with the arrow stuck in the ground and said: "And now, the candle has indeed been extinguished, unless you have the ability to light it again.
stand up."
The big hood was stunned for a moment, then looked up to the sky and laughed: "Okay! I guess you are a little smart, I admit it!" After saying that, he threw the bow and arrow in his hand towards the snow, went around behind his back with his hands to unfasten the heart guard, and said: "Now
The time is up, let’s tally up the results.”
Charlie also threw down his longbow and untied the heartguards tied to his body. Soon, two heartguards with arrows sticking out like hedgehogs were placed on the ground. The man in the big hood and the Snow Leopard Adventure Group immediately
They gathered around, counted for a moment, and suddenly discovered that there was an arrow stuck in each of the two heart-protecting plates.
After the results came out, everyone in the Snow Leopard Adventure Group sighed. If Charlie had shot at the candle a moment earlier, Big Hood's last arrow would not have counted. But they did not expect that if Charlie hadn't been opportunistic, this competition would have ended
Charlie was almost certain to lose. Charlie looked at the two heart protectors, then at the big hood, and said, "Hero, how about we tie in this competition?"
The Big Hood was also regretting it at this time. If the five arrows had been shot out earlier, Charlie would not have been allowed to take advantage of the opportunity to interrupt the game and end up in a tie. However, Charlie's archery skills also convinced the Big Hood, and he had to say: "Okay
, we’re tied!”
Charlie cupped his hands and said, "I'm Charlie, I'm a member of the Snow Leopard Adventure Group. I dare you to ask the strong man Gao's name." Now that the two of them are tied, I think Big Hood can't say anything like "You don't deserve to know your own name."
Big Hood pondered for a moment, and then said: "Well, my name is Aetherrod... I think I am the leader of a wandering legion, similar in nature to your adventure group."
Xie Feng muttered on the side: "Aetherrod, Aetherrod... this name is so familiar." Suddenly his eyes lit up, he pushed aside the crowd and ran to Aetherrod, and asked: "Um... may I ask you
Are they Zhivadin?"
Aethelrod glanced at Xie Feng, the uninvited guest, and said slightly: "I was indeed born in Zivadin, but when I was fourteen, I left my hometown and wandered alone... Do you know me?" He just finished speaking.
, a gust of cold wind blew by, blowing Aetherrod's big hood up, revealing a head of orange hair covered in it and an orange beard on his chin.
Xie Feng slapped his thigh and it was you. No wonder he is so powerful in archery and he is a character with customized battles. So Xie Feng smiled cheekily and said: "I have heard of your name before when I was in Zhivadin.
Well, being famous is not as good as meeting you. I never expected to see you here. I am Xie Feng, the captain of the 'Dang Kou Legion'. Please take good care of me in the future."
Aetherrod's face suddenly looked much better. It seemed that he could wear a lot of clothes and flatter him. Aetherrod nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Haha, you didn't expect me to be so famous?" Xie Feng saw his horse.
The fart worked, and he quickly added: "Of course, and I also heard that although you often provoke the lords of Virginia, you are a complete patriot at heart. Because after all, the king and the lords do not represent a country.
Loving a country does not mean loving the king and lords of that country. Are those who are kings and lords bastards and despicables, and we as civilians still need to be loyal to them? We love our motherland unconditionally, but
The regime that rules the motherland must be viewed objectively. They must not be allowed to steal the name of the country and do things that dishonor the honor of the country!"
Be good! This sentence completely speaks to Aetherrod's heart. Aetherrod was born in a slum. From a young age, he believed that the reason why he was poor was entirely because these kings and lords preyed on the people at will, regardless of the people's welfare.
Life or death. So once he has the ability, he often takes the initiative to challenge these lords. But in his heart, he still thinks that he is a completely patriotic citizen, but such a view is not recognized by many people. Now, Xie Feng's remarks
The words fully express what Aethelrod is thinking. This is simply a close friend! The stars are bright and the thoughts are endless. In the vast world, who knows me?
Aetherrod's body was trembling a little, the trembling that happens when he is excited, and then he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and patted Xie Feng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Well said! Brother Xie Feng, I can't think of the world.
There are still people who think the same as me, so you must have had similar experiences to me!"
Xie Feng nodded slightly. He had a similar experience, but he didn't. However, Xie Feng was also very disgusted with the practice of substituting political power for the country. Especially the **** in his previous life made him disgusted.
1 year.
Aetherrod Jian Xie Feng nodded, and suddenly he had the idea of sympathizing with each other. He looked up at the sky, then looked at Xie Feng, and said: "Brother Xie Feng, you and I are the same kind of people, but people like us are not very good.
It has been recognized by this era. Maybe we are the only two people in the world who have the same idea." Xie Feng listened in confusion, and before he could understand what Aetherrod wanted to say, Aetherrod spoke up.
He said: "Tonight the moon and stars are sparse, it is a good time. Brother Xie Feng, what do you think we will become brothers with different surnames?" Xie Feng's eyes widened at this time, and he finally understood what Aethelrod meant.
Aetherrod dared to challenge those lords. He had at least a hundred people under his command, and Aetherrod’s own abilities were obvious to all just now. For Xie Feng, who was just starting his career, how could he not be excited! Xie Feng
Suppressing the ecstasy in his heart, he cupped his hands towards Aethelrod and said: "Mountains and rivers are not important, the important thing is to meet someone you know. Big brother, please accept my thanks from my little brother Xie Feng!"
Aethelrod laughed: "Haha! Okay! The mountains and rivers are not important, the important thing is to meet a confidant. This is a good saying! I didn't expect that my little brother Xie Feng is so talented! Haha! Come, bring me some wine!"
Xie Feng smiled bitterly and thought to himself: Mr. Bao Rong, I'm sorry for you. I'll borrow your poems for use.
Soon, one of Aetherrod's men brought two large glasses of ale, and Aetherrod and Xie Feng took one cup each. Aetherrod said to Xie Feng: "Brother Xie Feng, after drinking this glass of wine, you are
My brother! From now on we will fight together and spend money together!" Xie Feng also said: "Yeah! We share the blessings and share the hardships together!" Aethelrod laughed: "What a 'blessings share the hardships'
, Brother Xie Feng is indeed very talented in literature! Do it!"
Xie Feng smiled bitterly again, who said this? I'm sorry for you again. Then he raised his glass, clinked it with Aetherrod's glass, and drank it all.
After finishing the drink, Aetherrod threw the cup away and said to Xie Feng: "Brother Xie Feng, what are your plans in the future? Why don't you bring all the people together to join my 'Blizzard Legion'? From now on, you will be the second member of the 'Blizzard Legion'"
Leader, we two brothers will fight side by side."
Xie Feng smiled and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, brother, I don't want to rely too much on you, I want to make my own way."
Aethelrod smiled and said: "What a great ambition! Big brother supports you! If you have difficulties in the future, just ask big brother... By the way, how are you and your team developing now?"
Xie Feng replied: "There are currently 17 members of our 'Dang Kou Legion' plus me. Our current identities..." As he said that, Xie Feng looked at the people around him and lowered his voice: "They are employees of the Kingdom of Nord."
military."
After listening to Xie Feng's words, Aetherrod's face sank and he frowned: "The Kingdom of Nord...isn't it at war with the Kingdom of Vigia?"
Xie Feng nodded and said: "Yes." Then he reacted instantly: Aetherrod is a patriot. When his country is attacked by other countries, he will lead his soldiers to rescue the country. In this way
First of all, the current Aetherrod definitely doesn't have a good impression of the Nord Kingdom, which is at war with the Kingdom of Vaegia. Just when Xie Feng wanted to explain something, Aetherrod patted Xie Feng on the shoulder and said: "Everyone.
I understand that you have no choice but to be your master. When the employment agreement expires, you are welcome to join my Blizzard Legion at any time."
Xie Feng's head suddenly grew twice as big. He had just promised Xiao Ke to renew the agreement, and this newly recognized big brother had to give up his allegiance to Nord... Who should he listen to? I just wanted to promise myself that in the future
When he was not participating in the war to invade the Kingdom of Virginia, Aetherrod said again: "By the way, little brother Xie Feng, I just heard that big guy in the tavern say that your archery skills are better than that of Charlie. When will we be the same?"
Than - we can't be opportunistic this time." Before Xie Feng could explain, Aetherrod suddenly realized that he had been leaving Charlie and others aside, so he turned to Charlie and said: "Your archery skills are indeed extraordinary, before I
That's too much to say." Then he gave Charlie an elegant knighthood. Although Aethelrod was born in a humble birth, after becoming famous, he always regarded himself as a new aristocrat, and he learned aristocratic etiquette like a model.
decent.
Charlie also returned a salute to Aetherrod and said: "To be honest, if we compete in the battlefield, I will definitely not be able to defeat you. At the same time, congratulations to you for recognizing a brother like Xie Feng. He used to be our training ground competitor."
The champion in the conference, and more importantly, when he participated in the competition, he was still a new student at the training ground. I haven’t seen him for such a long time, and I don’t know how far his strength has grown.” Xie Feng was humble after hearing this.
A few words. At this moment, a man dressed as a Vaegian soldier galloped from a distance. When he came to Aetherrod's side, he got off his horse and whispered into Aetherrod's ear.
Aetherrod nodded while listening, his face became solemn. After the man finished speaking, Aetherrod turned to Xie Feng and said: "I'm sorry, little brother Xie Feng, I have something urgent to do, so I won't chat with you anymore."
, feel free to come see me if you have anything to do."
Xie Feng had been paying attention to the changes in Aetherrod's face. He estimated that this matter would not be too critical, so he said: "Brother, you have to be careful." After listening to Xie Feng's words, Aetherrod made a gesture to the crowd.
Several people immediately emerged and followed Aetherrod and turned around to leave. Xie Feng looked at Aetherrod's retreating figure and thought that this time Kulau's visit was not in vain. After all, he was as good as Aetherrod.
The two characters became friends, which can be regarded as a coincidence - although this kind of sworn friendship seems a bit ridiculous, and I don't know how much Aethelrod attaches importance to his friendship. But no matter what, at least it is certain.
As long as such a customized combat character won't cause you trouble like Yellowbeard Severe.
After Aetherrod left, Xie Feng and Charlie chatted for a while, then returned to the tavern to continue the carnival.
The next day, Xie Feng said goodbye to the people of the Snow Leopard Adventure Group and set off back to Tichlog Fort, while the people of the Snow Leopard Adventure Group continued to travel around the Kingdom of Vaegiya to continue their adventure.
On the way back, Xie Feng looked at the cart full of pig iron following behind him, as well as the pig iron in his own inventory, thinking that this time things in the factory were finally at ease.
Chapter completed!
