Sui Xiong had only planned to have a taste of the oracle of the God of Hunt and Massacre, but it turned out that Ray was so grateful that he knelt down and kowtowed to him. The only thing missing was the prompt of "Loyalty + 100" floating above his head, which surprised Sui Xiong.
You really can't predict the things in this world …
For example, he had been ready to fight with the oracle of the God of Hunt and Massacre. However, when the caravan escorted to the next town, and even when everyone continued to move forward, all the way to the Golden Tower City, they did not encounter any attackers.
Did the "Brutal Hunter" change his character? Did he plan to bury the hatchet with Sui Xiong and make a fortune together?
Sui Xiong shook his head secretly. There was no such thing as a "change of character." Their "character" was dominated by their priesthood and domain. It was not that the gods did not have humanity, but humanity had to give way to divinity. The God of Hunt and Massacre had priesthoods or domains of cruelty, killing, revenge, and so on. Among them, killing was one of the main priesthoods, which meant that it was absolutely impossible for him to bury the hatchet with Sui Xiong. If there was a conflict with Sui Xiong, there was no third choice.
Sui Xiong was not afraid to fight with the God of Hunt and Massacre. That god was not very powerful, nor did he have a powerful backer. Although theoretically, he belonged to the Orc God System, he was not an orc and was just a marginal figure in the Orc God System. In a normal fight, it was unlikely that he would provoke other gods of the Orc God System.
And if it was a one-on-one fight, the God of Hunt and Massacre was just a weak god, probably a little higher than the gatekeeper of the Night God System who liked to find little girls to be his priests. Sui Xiong was really not afraid of him at all.
But anyway, it was a good thing that no one came to make trouble.
"Two balls of fire!" Steele happily looked at the two gently swaying blue flames on the back of her right hand and could not help but smile.
Along the way, they helped a lot of pedestrians who encountered monsters. Ray's martial arts certainly showed his brilliance, and Steele's healing magic was also very useful. Every time she helped the wounded, she could get people's gratitude. Little by little, she accumulated two balls of blue fire.
"But I still need ten balls of fire!" Steele sighed as she looked at the remaining ten spaces on the back of her hand.
During this period of time, the number of people she had saved had probably reached three digits. She had even used the Resurrection Spell twice, but the amount of blue fire she had saved was so little that she could not help but feel a little anxious.
"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with the measurement of the blue flames?" After thinking about it carefully, she couldn't help but protest to Sui Xiong, "Last time when I saved that caravan, I only saved a few people and got a blue fire. I've treated so many people during this period of time. Why did I only get one? "
"The Fire of Virtue is not calculated by how many people you heal, but by how many people you help." Sui Xiong explained, "There were a lot of people in that caravan. You and Ray saved them from the danger of being slaughtered, which is a great virtue in itself. Although the number of people you've treated during this period of time isn't small, the total number is about the same as the number of merchants. It's reasonable for them to have a ball of Fire of Virtue. "
Steele suddenly understood. She nodded and sat aside, lost in thought.
Since the Fire of Virtue on the back of her right hand was ignited, her mind had changed a little. In addition to her routine sexual desire, she also put a lot of attention on how to accumulate the Fire of Virtue.
Sui Xiong was certainly happy to see this. He gave Steele the red and blue flames to restrain her desire and induce her to be active in doing good. Now that he saw that she was indeed showing signs of doing good, how could he not be happy?
Compared with Steele, Ray's change was more obvious.
Since the day he swore loyalty to Sui Xiong, his whole temperament had changed. He revealed a cheerful and lively aura, like a tree that was weighed down by a stone and finally relieved of the burden on its head. He was in high spirits.
When he passed by a town, he even specially made a trip to the town's Magic Tower and found an Advanced Mage to modify his leather armor.
When he returned, his black leather armor had turned white. He no longer looked ferocious. Instead, he looked very amiable.
Not only that, but he also began to pay attention to his appearance. Every day, he would comb his hair neatly, and his clothes would also be properly arranged. He was no longer as slovenly as before.
Especially now, his every move often revealed a bit of elegance, even when he was fighting the monsters. It made people feel that he was not an adventurer who lived on the edge of a knife, but a wandering knight who served justice.
The only shortcoming was that he had not yet found a suitable mount. However, this matter was already making progress. Not long ago, he caught a Copper Crown Dragon and was now slowly taming it.
"In fact, Copper Crown Dragons are not very good mounts." One day, while tossing and turning the ferocious monster and subduing it with this seemingly playful method, he said to Sui Xiong, "They don't fly very fast, and their torso strength is not very strong. Their main strength lies in their sharp teeth. But I don't need their fighting strength at all, so they are completely wasted. "
"Then what kind of mount is best?" Sui Xiong asked.
"Warhorses, of course!" Ray said with a smile. "The riding and spear skills I am good at are designed for riding horses. Although it is not impossible to ride other things, after all, riding a horse is the most suitable, and can best display my spear skills."
"But … it is not easy to find a horse that I can ride in battle!"
During this time, every time he went to a town, he would visit the merchants in the city and ask if there were any good horses for sale. He had seen several good horses. However, those horses were more in terms of intelligence or speed, and were slightly lacking in "strength" — what Ray needed was not a divine steed or a wind-chasing horse. What he wanted was a strong and tall horse that could withstand the strength of him and an expert of the same level riding a horse.
But such a warhorse, of course, could not be found. In desperation, he had to set his eyes on the monsters.
This Copper-Crowned Flying Dragon, which would cause panic in a small town, was his second choice.
But the Copper Crown Dragon was really not a kind of creature that was easy to tame. Even when they arrived at the Golden Tower City, this guy was still fierce. It did not reject Ray as a knight, but as long as there was a chance, it would want to hurt people.
If Ray was still the lone thief, he would not mind riding a ferocious beast — the One-Horned Raptor that he used to ride was also a ferocious beast, and it could help him in battle. But now he was a knight, a knight who did justice and helped others. How could he ride a ferocious beast?
Maybe one day when he was not paying attention, this bastard would eat the passers-by on the road …
"If it really doesn't work, I can only ask His Majesty to put a tight collar on this guy." When they crossed the city gate and entered the Golden Pagoda City, Ray knocked the head of the Copper Crown Flying Dragon with one hand, threatening it not to bite down on the seemingly sturdy and chewy guards next to it, while thinking like this.
The Golden Tower City was a very ordinary small city in the Mifata Federation. It was located in the central west of the federation, almost close to the border. From here to the west for about a week, from the plateau to the flat land, one could reach the Duchy of Thunder — it was a country attached to the Mifata Federation, famous for its planting and mining industry.
As a small city, the scale of the Golden Tower City was slightly smaller than the Green Tree City. Before entering the city, Sui Xiong specially searched with his soul and confirmed that the owner of the magic tower in the center of the town had not stepped into the legendary realm, but was just a senior wizard.
The security of the Golden Tower City was not very good, and it did not look prosperous. There were not many pedestrians on the street, but there were many adventurers coming and going. In addition to the golden magic tower in the center of the town, the most conspicuous thing was probably the row of gallows outside the city gate.
More than one dry corpse was hanging on the gallows, swaying in the wind.
"I feel a little uncomfortable in this town," Sui Xiong said, "I always feel that there are not many good people here, but bad people everywhere …"
"Every town has its own way of life. You should not force others with your own preferences," Ray advised. "We're just here to recruit Knight Parne. After we invite him, we'll leave. How the people in this town live has nothing to do with us. "
"But shouldn't we do something?" Sui Xiong noticed that a child on the roadside was trying to steal from a drunk adventurer, and could not help but frown. "The situation here is not right!"
Before he could finish his words, the adventurer had already realized what was going on. He grabbed the child's right arm with his thick palm and twisted it. The unlucky thief screamed and fell down, accompanied by the sound of bones breaking.
The drunk adventurer cursed and walked away, leaving only the little thief with broken bones lying on the ground, wailing in pain and unable to stand up.
There were pedestrians passing by on the roadside, but no one looked at him, and no one showed the slightest pity.
"Although he is a thief, this is … a little too much!" Sui Xiong could not help but murmur. "It's enough to beat him up. Why did he have to break his bones?"
"That's not necessarily true. Your Majesty, you may not have noticed that the crimes of the prisoners who were hanged were actually written on the gallows, and more than one of the crimes was theft." Ray shook his head and sighed softly. "Probably in this town, theft is a capital crime."
"You have to die for stealing something? That's terrible … "
"Who knows … maybe the Lord of this town has his own ideas," Ray said. "The Lord has the right to make and enforce the laws in his own way, as long as it doesn't conflict with the laws of his superior Lord. As far as I know, in the laws of the Commonwealth of Mifata, there is no such thing as' no execution of thieves', so the local Lord's rule of 'hanging thieves' is completely legal. "
"This legal system is really terrible!" Sui Xiong complained, and then asked Steele to treat the child.
Steele's magic was very effective, and she easily healed the young thief. He thanked the elegant and charming big sister, trembling with fear, and then hurriedly left.
"A child who knows how to express his gratitude after receiving a favor. Not bad." Steele returned to Sui Xiong and commented. "I think he seems to have been educated and knows culture. I don't know how he could become a thief … "
"Are you interested in helping him?" Ray asked.
Steele thought for a moment and shook her head. "Everyone has their own life. Even if we want to help, we can only help in an emergency. If every single person in dire straits needs help, that's not something an ordinary person can do. "
Sui Xiong was upset by these words. He waved his tentacles and asked everyone to leave quickly. He wanted to find someone to ask about Knight Parne's residence.
He had made up his mind to find Knight Parne, persuade him to join his church, and leave immediately. He didn't want to stay in this terrible city for one more day!
