ps: Dujiangyan suffered another horrific mudslide. Buyi participated in the disaster relief work of the unit, so the work was tight. I only wrote 2,000 words last night, and I also took time to rush out a chapter today. Here, I would like to express my gratitude to the first leader of this book Please call me Momo to express my sincere gratitude! I wanted to break out a few chapters for Leader Mo, but I can only make up for it when I am busy. Brothers, please understand! No more updates, this is what I am trying to do now.
"Get up!" Beside the pond, a young man shouted softly. With a slight lift of the fishing rod in his hand, a big fish about a foot long was pulled out of the water.
"After eating my bait, you still want to run away?" The young man stepped on the fish in the green grass under his feet, took out the hook from its mouth with a smile, and threw the fish into the bamboo basket next to him. "Please search Gone with the Wind Astronomy, novels are better and updated faster! .
"Fifteen. How can you be so evil?" Martin, who had been sitting by the pond for a long time, felt very depressed when he looked at the young man with a good harvest.
After arriving in Cole City, he found nothing about investigating dark magic, which made him very distressed. So, he chose this sunny afternoon, and under the leadership of Simon, he went to the pond to fish and relax. Unexpectedly, his mood became even worse.
¡°Sir, do you want me to drive that kid away?¡± Simon really couldn¡¯t stand it anymore. That guy caught fifteen fish, and Mr. Martin hasn't opened yet! His existence seems to be to highlight Lord Martin's incompetence.
"No need. You go and tell him that I want to talk to him." Martin sighed. Fishing has always been his favorite way to spend time, and he is very confident in his fishing skills. But today, in this silent contest with that young man. He was completely defeated, but he was convinced.
Since you have lost, accept it calmly and find out the reason why you lost.
Simon quickly walked over and whispered in the young man's ear for a moment.
"I'm busy. If you need anything, just ask him to come over!" The young man didn't even bother to look back and waved his hand impatiently.
Simon gave some more advice.
"Paladin? Don't lie to me! If you can meet a Paladin when fishing, then you can also meet the Pope when you go to the toilet?"
Martin walked over and motioned Simon to leave with his eyes.
"Hello. I'm Martin. I have nothing to do. I also came here to catch fish to pass the time. However, I'm going to go home empty-handed today. The fish in this pond are probably only interested in your bait!" he said with a smile. His eyes fell on the t¨¨bi¨¦ fishing rod in the young man's hand.
"You're new here. They take life seriously. As for me, I've figured out their tempers a long time ago, and I can catch a few with my eyes closed!" The young man threw the fishhook into the water and turned to look at him. Smiled.
There are actually two dazzling cross scars on this guy¡¯s face! Martin couldn't help but be stunned.
"Don't look at me like this, okay? I'm not a black cross, why do you all have this expression?" the young man said lightly.
"Because, ruguo, if you don't wash your face carefully, it will quickly turn into a black cross." Martin joked, "I am deeply impressed by your skills! I wonder, can I watch it here?"
"Of course." The young man nodded.
The afternoon passed quietly in a pleasant exchange. For the first time, Martin discovered that someone could take fishing to an artistic level, and that a fishing rod had so many particularities. When the sun went down and the young man stood up to leave, Martin actually felt a little lost.
¡°I¡¯ve been chatting with you all afternoon, and I¡¯ve gained so much. Will you come again tomorrow?¡± he asked.
"After catching a fish, if Ruguo doesn't get it with his own hands and eat it, it's like stripping a beautiful woman and throwing her on the bed, then she just falls asleep. It's such a disgraceful sight!" The young man put his bamboo basket on his back and looked at him and said, "Let's eat grilled fish tonight. Are you interested?"
"Of course." Martin was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Brother, your fishing rod is really good! Where did you buy it?" After drinking grilled fish and strong wine, Martin felt that the distance between Ziji and the young man had become much closer.
¡°You can¡¯t afford this thing!¡± The young man said with a proud smile, ¡°This is a craft passed down from my ancestors!¡±
"Heirloom? No wonder! Then can you make one for me, and I'll pay a high price for it! No, make five pairs, and you decide the price!" Martin said proudly, burping from wine.
"I will never do anything else in this life!" the young man said sadly.
"Why? Are you stupid for leaving money without making any money?"
"Because a woman once said: A man who can use a sword, no matter how bad he is, is a thousand times better than a man who can only make a fishing rod!" The young man laughed sadly.
"Well, in this world, her words do have some truth." Martin sighed.
"Yes! From that day on, IAfter leaving her, the scholar picked up the sword and began a life of licking blood from the edge of the sword, hoping to one day become a strong man famous in the continent. But, I don¡¯t know if I can get to that point, or if she will become someone else¡¯s wife when that day comes! "
"As a decent man, why worry about not having a wife in the future? Let the past be in the past. If there is a chance, I will ask your sister-in-law to find a girl with great talent and beauty for you!" Martin advised.
"The rivers and seas are boundless. What I want after all is the ladle of water that I couldn't drink back then. Come on, don't mention anything disturbing tonight, let's just drink and eat meat!" said the young man.
"Okay, okay, but I still have something to say."
"It goes without saying. Since we are destined, I will give you this pair of fishing rods. Keeping them will only make me miss you! Come on, do it!" the young man said with a smile.
"Dry!"
"Brother, I'm leaving. I haven't been able to ask you your name for a long time. If you don't know your farewell, can you tell me?" Martin packed up the fishing rod, touched his round belly, and asked cheerfully.
"My name is Link. Goodbye, Mr. Martin!"
"Oh, thank you for tonight, bye!" After Martin finished speaking, he walked out of the small courtyard with staggering steps.
"Why does this name sound so familiar?" The wind blew by, and Martin's head became slightly clearer.
¡°Boss, are you just going to let him go?¡± After Martin left, Nance walked out of the kitchen with a smoky face. This night, he had been grilling fish, and the two foodies could never get enough.
"The fish is hooked. Are you still afraid that he will run away?" Link looked at the door and smiled.
¡°Boss, is the effect of this thing as magical as you said?¡± Nance shook the small bag in his hand and asked.
"Of course." Link stretched out his hand to squeeze the bag and frowned. "Why is this all there is?"
"I was afraid that the effect would not be good, so I added more when grilling the fish." Nance replied.
"Uh, good. If I get addicted to eating, you don't have to do anything anymore. Just cook grilled fish for me every day!" Link scolded.
Early morning. After Martin got up. After thinking about what happened yesterday, he called Simon to his room.
"Have you ever seen Captain Link of the Condor Mercenary Group in Cole City for so long?" he asked.
"M¨¦iyou. This person is elusive and has only recently started to appear in public. What's wrong?" Simon asked.
"Yesterday, the young man we met by the pond. He said his name was Link. I was wondering whether he might be the leader of the Condor Mercenary Group." Martin said.
"Is that the guy with the scar on his face?" Simon asked in surprise. His heart had long been filled with joy. Just do what you like, Mr. Link, you are indeed an expert, Sir Martin will remember you so quickly.
"Yeah. I thought carefully about what he said last night. The h¨£oxi¨¤ng should be him." He felt that what Link said about picking up a sword and living a life of licking blood after being hurt by love was exactly his career as a mercenary portrayal.
"This guy can be considered infatuated, and he wants to be famous even if he fights for his life." Thinking of this, he seemed to understand Link's reason for boldly provoking Duis: No matter he wins or loses, as long as he can survive, this One battle will make him famous all over the world. At that time, he can prove to his former lover that he never let her down, and thus have a chance to restore the lost love.
"Although I don't know him, people in the city think highly of him. Sir, would you like to meet him and get to know him?" Simon continued.
"Of course. Since I came to Cole City, I must get to know him to make the trip worthwhile." Martin smiled.
What¡¯s more, he is also good at grilling meat, and it tastes so delicious! Thinking of last night's barbecue, Martin couldn't help but swallow his saliva, which surprised him. As a paladin of the Divine Court, he has eaten countless delicacies in his life, but only the grilled fish last night can make him miss it so much.
The formal meeting between Martin and Link was pleasant.
Link praised the successful Martin to the fullest, and flattered him so much that he screamed loudly. Facing this rising star who created a series of war miracles and became famous on the mainland overnight, Martin did not hesitate to praise him and sent his sincere blessings.
Dinner was served in a very harmonious atmosphere. The staple food was of course the grilled fish that made Mark's index finger tickle.
Link called Ziji¡¯s brother, and Martin also called a few guards to accompany him. Everyone was drunk and fainted before giving up.
"Brother, I heard that there is a strange fish in a river outside the city. The taste of this fish is so beautiful!" Link squinted his drunken eyes and said to Martin.?
"Isn't it? Will it taste better than the fish we eat tonight?" Martin was also drunk and unconscious.
"Of course. Besides, you can only catch that kind of fish at night."
"At night?" Martin said, "Then let's go out to the city to fish tonight? I was just thinking about trying the fishing rod you gave me!"
"Okay!" Link slapped his thigh, "Fishing on a moonlit night is so sentimental!"
However, he shook his head with a strange smile: "Brother, no, no! The sunset army came to the city, and I ran into Duis's birdman's net, but I became the fish on his plate!"
"What a fright! Are you still afraid of him when I'm here? Besides, I promised to give the princess five days of freedom, so he doesn't dare to move!" Martin said loudly with bloodshot eyes.
"Really?" Link asked.
"How could my brother lie to you? If something happens to you, I'll take care of it!" Martin said with emotion.
"Then let's pack up and leave the city!" Link said.
"Let's get out of the city!" Martin said, stood up with the help of the guards, and walked out in a blink of an eye.
In the darkness, the north gate of Cole City opened quietly. A group of knights rode out of the city and headed towards the camp dif¨¡ng of the 22nd Division of the Sunset Empire. (To be continued.)
