Chapter 54 The Ogre's Traces
This strange light immediately attracted Ryan's attention.
Ryan immediately picked up the ore, and as soon as he held it in his hand, he felt a particularly heavy feeling.
"Hiss! With such a high density, it must be heavier than star iron!"
After learning the knowledge of ore identification from the blacksmith Borris last time, Ryan is no longer completely ignorant of ore.
Ryan first squeezed it hard, and then used the big sword to "ding ding" a few times.
The strange ore was intact, which further strengthened Ryan's judgment.
Judging from the hardness and weight alone, this piece of strange ore must be some kind of special ore.
Moreover, according to Ryan's preliminary judgment, the value of this piece of strange ore is probably not less than that of Borris's star iron.
After thinking about it, Ryan did not have the idea of embezzling this piece of ore alone.
Even if this piece of ore is valuable, according to his contribution, if he does not want other things, he will probably be able to get this piece of ore in the distribution of spoils.
So, Ryan poured all the contents of the wooden box into the big cloth bag.
Then, he carried the heavy cloth bag and found Captain Willen.
"So many?" Willen looked at Ryan with wide eyes after seeing the contents of the cloth bag. He looked at Ryan with a surprised expression.
"Ryan, you are really the lucky star of our team!" Seeing Ryan who had harvested so much in a short time, Willen didn't know what to say for a moment. He could only shake his head and sigh at Ryan's good luck.
"Captain Willen, I want this ore when the price is estimated and the spoils are distributed." Ryan took out the stone emitting a hazy soft light from the cloth bag and handed it to Willen.
"It seems to be a special ore? It's rare, no problem!" Although Willen was knowledgeable, he was not better than Ryan in identifying ore. He just knew that this should not be an ordinary ore.
"Ryan, take it!" Willen threw the ore directly to Ryan.
Just when Ryan was puzzled.
Willen said, "It's safest to take it now. When the spoils are brought back to the town and the quartermaster comes to appraise the value, it may be included in the 30% that is handed over to the empire."
"Take it now. If it's valuable, remember to buy each of us a glass of tequila!"
Willen smiled and patted Ryan on the shoulder.
Obviously, in Willen's mind, winning over Ryan, the rising star of the Night Watch, is much more important than this special ore.
"Haha, of course there is no problem, but this..."
Ryan certainly understood Captain Willen's good intentions, but is it really okay to distribute it this way? He didn't know, so he didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time, a member of the Night Watch waved to Willen who was talking to Ryan and shouted:
"Captain, you'd better come over and take a look!"
From the tone, it seemed that there was something unexpected over there.
Curious, Ryan walked over with Willen.
There was a row of very conspicuous huge footprints on the ground extending into the depths of the forest. Because this place was near the river and the ground was wet, the footprints left behind were particularly clear.
"Hiss! So big!" Ryan looked at the row of footprints in front of him in surprise and couldn't help blurting out.
"Four fingers! These are the footprints of the ogre!!" Compared to Ryan's surprise, Willen's expression changed drastically!
"Ryan, we have to leave here immediately! Damn! Ogres actually appeared here, and it seems that this small tribe of evil fin fishmen should have been driven here by the ogres."
"Maybe the ogres are keeping these fishmen as livestock. If that's the case, we have killed so many fishmen again..."
"No, we have to leave immediately!"
"Everyone, leave quickly! Don't pick up any more spoils!" Willen immediately called everyone.
Seeing Viren so nervous, Ryan's heart also tightened.
After all, as the captain of the Night's Watch, Viren had much more experience than him, and the other party had just witnessed his fighting ability.
Now the other party still decided to evacuate in such a hurry, which meant that the strength of the ogre should be far greater than theirs.
Soon, everyone put the spoils on the horses, then jumped on the horses and returned along the way they came.
In fact, Ryan was still a little confused.
"Since we have found the traces of the ogres, shouldn't we sneak over to investigate the situation?"
"Or is it that the ogres have a very keen sense of smell or hearing, so we can't get close?"
"After all, we don't even know the number of ogres now."
After the group hurriedly left the Twilight Lake area, Ryan finally couldn't help asking:
"Captain Willen, are ogres so scary?"
Willen looked at Ryan and said seriously: "More scary than you think. You also fought against the violent gnoll last time. Is it very strong?"
"Of course!" Ryan nodded. The violent gnoll was the strongest enemy he had ever encountered.
"Then you know, if this violent gnoll encounters an adult ogre, it will either be the ogre's subordinate or run away immediately. There is no third way to choose."
"The difference between the two is like the difference between a wolf and a brown bear in the forest!" Willen gestured with his fingers and said firmly.
"So much difference?" Ryan was surprised.
This was beyond his expectation. The ogre was so strong!
He thought that the two should be about the same strength.
Willen nodded and continued, "Yes, Ryan, have you heard about the town of Albero being attacked by wandering ogres some time ago?"
"This. I seem to have heard about it." Ryan immediately recalled what the pseudo-second-generation people talked about when he just crossed over that day, and it seemed that there was something about this town of Albero.
"The sheriff of Albero, Knight Hamza Chulin, is not much inferior to Lord Hamilton in strength. But that night, he was directly beaten and seriously injured by the wandering ogre."
"If it weren't for the other night watchmen who desperately attracted the other party's attention, Lord Hamza, who is a knight, would have died gloriously."
After listening to Willen's explanation, Ryan raised his eyebrows. This really shocked him.
He always thought that ogres were just those tall and burly but slow-reacting idiots with great strength, but listening to Willen's description, it seems that it is not the case at all.
He didn't know Knight Hamza, but he knew Hamilton's strength.
If Knight Hamza, who was almost as powerful as Hamilton, couldn't resist, then Ryan also knew his own limitations. Even if he activated the blacksmith's power level 3, he would not be a match for the ogre.
"I always feel that something is wrong in the past year. Too many things have happened in the entire Mayest County!" At this time, Willen seemed to recall and sighed.
"After I go back, I have to report this to Lord Hamilton immediately."
If Ryan still felt a little complacent after killing everyone in the fishman camp.
Then after understanding the powerful strength of the ogre, that little complacency in his heart disappeared without a trace.
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!"
A famous saying from the previous life naturally came to Ryan's mind.
