Chapter 43 Silly Trolls (Page 1/2)
This stone bridge outside Niubao Town has no name. It is about 100 meters long and is built on the narrowest section of the river.
With the help of two natural reef islands in the middle of the Pontar River, the craftsmen of Ossenford College relied on their craftsmanship and scientific methods to build a road for pedestrians on the river with three small stone bridges spanning a distance of nearly 100 meters.
This was originally a very famous landmark building outside Niubao Town, but now it has become a headache for many people because of the intervention of two trolls.
After discussing the commission remuneration, Frank stepped onto the stone bridge alone under the half-believing and half-doubting eyes of the bridge guards and walked towards the location of the trolls.
He was too young and looked like he was not even 20 years old.
Although he was strong and equipped with armor and a long sword, if it were not for the well-known female poet Priscilla in Niubao to vouch for him, I am afraid no one would believe that such a young man would be a master of swordsmanship.
The poet lady originally wanted to follow him. She was very interested in the legendary monsters like trolls.
Unfortunately, as a novice demon hunter, even in Frank's memory, this was his first time facing a creature like a troll. All his knowledge of it came from the teachings of his teacher.
Therefore, facing this uncertain situation, Frank rejected the poet lady's idea of going with him and decided to try it himself first.
As for whether to kill the two trolls or reach a commission through negotiation, it depends on the specific situation on the scene.
The location of the collapsed bridge is located in the middle of the stone bridge. On the isolated island reef at the head of this stone bridge, the tent built with worn-out leather and various rotten wood garbage is particularly obvious. Frank judged at a glance that this is the residence built by the trolls.
Judging from its size, the two trolls obviously intend to live here for a long time.
Using the demon hunter's super vision, two tall and fat humanoid creatures are sitting around a big pot, seemingly cooking some food.
They held huge wooden spoons and bowls in their hands. They were ugly, with blue-gray skin and a rock-like texture. They looked quite rough and obviously had strong defense.
Judging from their savage-like attire, the two trolls should be a male and a female, probably a couple.
They were wearing simple clothes made of dead animal leather wrapped in straw ropes. Some strange bones and stones were hung on their bodies as ornaments. The weapons used by the two trolls were huge wooden sticks tied with sharp stones. They were about two meters long and thicker than thighs. They looked very lethal.
No wonder the guards did not dare to confront the two trolls head-on.
On a bridge that was less than four meters wide, I'm afraid no sensible person would want to use melee weapons to deal with two trolls that were as big as small giants.
No matter how many people came, as long as the trolls attacked with wooden sticks.
In the narrow space, there is no place to dodge. Once a fight really breaks out, he will probably be crushed by the troll's stick or forced to jump into the turbulent river to dodge the attack, which is simply courting death.
As Frank approached the troll's tent, he carefully observed the surrounding environment, while thinking about his next course of action.
This contact was most likely just a test. He was going to see if the two trolls could communicate and whether there was any possibility of reaching an agreement.
If not, he would turn around and run immediately, and then kill the two trolls after making sufficient preparations.
After all, these are just two stupid monsters, just thicker skin and stronger than ordinary humans. If you really want to kill them, poisoning, direct combat, or even the use of alchemical bombs are all feasible.
