Chapter 81 80. Not a Knight
A mushroom hut filled with glass bottles and glass shards.
Xiao Hei curled up on the mushroom bed.
The wound on the shoulder had healed long ago, but it would take several days for the scales to grow back.
A Pooji appeared outside the mushroom hut.
Although this puffball exudes a honey scent, Xiao Hei is unmoved.
It even crushed a few precious glass bottles with a "crack" and turned away without looking at it.
There was no other choice, Puji had to jump hard.
The mushroom house was a little high, so I didn’t jump up.
With another jump, he barely reached the edge and twisted his way up.
Puji ran back and forth in the mushroom house twice, filling the entire room with the fragrance of honey.
Little Black's nose twitched from time to time, but he never moved.
Puji simply moved closer, and the mushroom hat swayed in front of Xiao Hei——
Getting closer and closer——
Finally, he put it directly on his lips and rubbed it back and forth.
Xiao Hei originally wanted to push Puji away, but after he stretched out his tongue and licked the honey on the mushroom cap... he couldn't help but lick it twice more.
Kind of delicious...
After a while, Xiao Hei was very attentive and started to nibble on the edge of Puji like an octopus.
Three more Pujis of the same kind jumped in from outside. They circled around Xiao Hei, waiting for her to eat them one by one. For a moment, the mushroom house was filled with a delicious atmosphere.
call--
Thanks to the monster Pseudo Flower Vine for providing the flavor. It turns out that something sweet is the right thing to do.
After comforting Xiao Hei, I still have to clean up the scene.
The Pujis spread spores on the bombarded areas to make the fungal carpet grow again.
A fat guy staggered to the edge of the swamp area.
The thick mycelial tentacle reached into the pocket on his body and quickly took out the adventurer.
A bunch of...
Two pieces...
…
All thrown into the swamp.
This time it's all my own fault. I blame myself for not being able to speak good language and for not being able to see through this group's plan in advance.
Although I have started learning the common language from Dylan, the plan has not kept up with the changes.
If I had known earlier, I would have let Xiao Hei stay in the mushroom forest for a day, or let her go to the sixth floor to play.
It's also my fault that I didn't keep an eye on it all the time and my attention was focused on the scout.
But what can we do about it? It was Dylan who triggered the plot...
——
Amid the chirping of cicadas, a wheat-skinned girl stood under a large tree beside the forest.
The hem of her coarse linen skirt fluttered in the wind, and the straw basket between her arms was filled with various wild fruits.
The girl's eyes suddenly collided with Dylan who was riding past on his horse.
Dylan pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and moved towards the girl.
"Sir Knight?"
The girl took two steps back timidly.
Seeing this, Dylan, who was called Sir Knight for the first time in his life, had to dismount and keep a distance to avoid scaring the girl.
Without explaining that he was not a knight, Dylan asked directly:
"Little girl, I just want to ask, is your village nearby? I hope to get some water."
As he spoke, he patted the water bag around his waist.
The girl looked at Dylan for a few more seconds, then pointed to a path.
"Thanks, little girl."
"Thanks, little girl."
After confirming the direction, Dylan jumped on his horse and rushed over.
There is no way. If I don’t get some water for this Pooji on my back, it will dry up.
"Why did you say it twice, Sir Knight?"
…
Under the villagers' puzzled gazes, Dylan stuffed the droopy backpack on his back into the wooden barrel and put it into the well.
The village chief was worried that something in the bag might contaminate the well water, and wanted to say something.
But when he saw the long sword at Dylan's waist, he chose to swallow his words.
About two minutes later, Dylan turned the wheel and brought up the bucket and backpack.
The backpack now looks a lot fuller.
Dylan first picked up the scout, shook him hard twice to shake off most of the water, and then carried him on his back.
Only then should several water bags be filled with water.
I really didn't expect that we had plenty of water prepared for three days, but the scouts used up most of it.
Fortunately, after this replenishment, we can hold on until Noweid, and then we can buy a few more water bags.
That’s right!
Dylan touched his pocket, took out a few copper coins and stuffed them into the hand of the village chief.
"This is money for water, take it."
"This is money for water, take it."
After Dylan left, Lin Jun's voice came into his mind.
"Dylan, I have to remind you that you just said it twice without translating it for me."
"Ah? Is that so..."
Dylan scratched his head sheepishly.
It's easy to get confused if you say the same sentence in your mouth and in your mind.
The boss wants to learn the common language this way, but I don’t know if it’s reliable…
Returning along the path, I heard faint voices calling from the front.
Dylan stretched his neck and didn't see any human figure, but he saw a straw basket and some wild fruits scattered on the ground not far away.
And...a horse tied to the side of the road?
That village girl?
Dylan asked the horse to walk a little faster.
As the distance got closer, the vague sound gradually became clearer - it was the girl's vague cry for help.
Following the sound, we found a knight and a girl who was struggling desperately under him in the bushes not far from the roadside.
It wasn't a fake knight like Dylan. The man in front of him had a coat of arms embroidered on his clothes.
Although Dylan didn't know who he belonged to, there was no doubt that he was a genuine knight under the command of a noble.
It’s just that what he is doing now is not so “chivalrous”.
The girl's shirt was torn and there were bruises on her arms and face. Although her mouth was covered, her tearful eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Dylan.
The noble knight naturally noticed the passing mercenary.
The burly guy didn't say anything, but his gloomy eyes were undoubtedly warning Dylan not to meddle in other people's business.
"Oh? Dylan, you want to meddle in other people's business?"
The boss’ voice came into my mind. I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the boss seemed... very interested?
"Should I care?" Dylan asked.
“How should I know? I’m just a backpack.
But if you meddle in other people's business, you might delay your trip."
“…”
Delaying the trip, in other words, Bella would be in more danger...
As if seeing that Dylan had been staring at him and not leaving, the burly man, who was nearly two meters tall, grabbed the girl's hair and stood up.
His hand even touched the scabbard hanging on the horse.
"Why, old man, are you looking for death?"
Hi--
Why do they all call me old man, even though I'm only 45...
Dylan jumped off his horse, and when he landed, he had the long sword at his waist in his hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the noble knight.
"Do you really want to care?"
You really shouldn't meddle in other people's business.
Are you no longer as cautious as you become stronger?
But... this girl looks about the same age as Bella...
Dylan took a deep breath and said, "Wouldn't it be better if we just leave and pretend nothing happened?"
"ha!"
It seemed that he was amused by the ignorant behavior of the adventurer in front of him.
"A wild dog dares to bark at me?"
The noble knight threw the girl to the ground with his hands.
He pulled out a knight's sword that was a circle larger than the long sword in Dylan's hand.
"Try to struggle as hard as you can with your toy sword, and I'll make you watch yourself get chopped into pieces!"
As the sword turned sideways, he approached Dylan with a grin.
…
…
…
"Translate quickly! Is he saying something harsh? This is what I want to learn!"
Thanks to the leader of Dues Cheese, and thanks to everyone for their support. The additional updates will be posted together with the release of the game.
