Chapter 15: Jack the Drunk
1442 Words
The girl did not answer immediately, but turned around and leaned down, gently stroking a white calla lily in the back garden, showing a beautiful back.
"Shadia, do you know what it takes for a person to step into the extraordinary?"
The head maid frowned and began to think about the question, but although she was literate and often read, most of what she read were books on aristocratic etiquette, introduction to aristocratic heraldry, or the daily management of the manor.
The boundaries of this question were really beyond the scope of her cognition, and after a while, the head maid, Xia Dia, frowned and replied with a slight hesitation: "Talent? ”
The girl smiled lightly: "You're right." ”
"To be extraordinary, you need to have four things at once: determination, talent, perseverance and opportunity."
"And I saw determination and perseverance in Wren before, that's why I asked you to call him to the back garden."
"Just now, I confirmed that he does have a good talent."
When the maid heard this, she suddenly realized and said, "I see, but it's ........"
"Miss, you just said that Wren has three qualities, but didn't you say that he needs to have four?"
"Shadia, do you mean chance? I'm his chance! The girl said with a bright smile.
Inside the Tavern in Shining Gold.
Thick eyebrows are talking to a muscular adult male in a remote corner.
"Drunkard Jack, this is 10 silver coins, remember to interrupt the hand of that kid from Wren who made the sword." Richard said to an adult man beside him, with a grim face.
How talented is it?
If your hand is broken, I want to see how you kid learns swordsmanship!
"It's only 10 silver coins, not enough for me to drink for two days." The man nicknamed Jack the Drunkard is still quite athletic, after all, he used to be a mercenary, although he is now in the tavern or mingling with the warblers, and his strength is long gone.
"Richard, at least 15 silver coins, I'll help you clean up that kid!" Jack the drunkard gestured to add money, his eyes revealing greed.
"Okay, that's 15 silver coins! However, you have to be assured that this matter will never be revealed! Richard gritted his teeth and agreed to the other party's price increase.
After all, the money in his hand can't move a real master, and he can only invite people like the drunkard Jack.
However, it's enough to deal with Wren, isn't it!
"Today he should go home, and after a night's stay, he will return to the manor again tomorrow night. So, if you want to do it Jack, the drunkard, seize the opportunity and do it as soon as possible! ”
"Hiccup....... Rest assured! It's just a little kid! Jack the drunkard belched and patted his chest as he reassured.
Before leaving, Richard thought for a while, and then told the drunkard Jack: "This kid has a bit of a talent for swordsmanship, don't overturn in the gutter!" ”
"Cut! Don't forget, I was a mercenary! Mercenary! Jack the drunkard muttered, scoffing at Richard's concerns!
After Richard is gone, Jack the Drunkard plans to have two more drinks!
However, when he looked up, he inadvertently saw a familiar figure walking past the tavern door.
"Huh! Isn't that the Wren? ”
Drunkard Jack was overjoyed immediately!
"Tsk! It's so easy to make! ”
Immediately, the drunkard Jack got up and followed.
In the evening, as the sun set, Wren walked briskly home, thinking about what Miss Claire would do next.
Will you recruit yourself directly? Or is it ........
Suddenly, there was the sound of shredded footsteps behind him.
Wind in the back of the head!
The effect of increasing agility to 7 is vividly reflected at this time.
Wren jerked forward, causing the attacker behind him to miss the attack that had been aimed at the back of his head.
But Wren apparently didn't completely avoid the damage, and the blow still hit Wren in the back.
"Smack!"
A sharp pain came from the back, but it was far better than hitting the back of the head.
Obviously, the attacker behind Wren didn't expect that the blow he was bound to win would actually miss, and the whole person was stunned.
Taking advantage of the other party's stunned effort, Wren had already turned around quickly, grabbed the stick that the other party used to attack him, and pulled hard!
It was obviously impossible for the other party to let go, and immediately clenched the stick, but in a hurry, he was still pulled by Wren.
But the attacker's heart was relieved at this time, which showed that the other party was still a teenager, and his strength was far less than that of an adult like himself.
Just as he thought so, "Smack! ”
Wren kicked the attacker in the middle of the crotch with a swift whip.
"Ahh
The attacker's face was like a pig's liver, and he painfully let go of the stick, covered his crotch with both hands, and immediately squatted down.
Wren held the stick and aimed it at the attacker's temple, and slammed it!
"Smack!"
The attacker didn't even remember to snort, and fell limply to the ground.
Only then did Wren gasp for breath.
Although the fight just now only lasted less than ten seconds, it was the first time he had been attacked in this world, and he fought in real situations!
Fortunately, he has made great strides in all aspects of his body and swordsmanship recently, otherwise, he would not be able to react to the attacker's first blow.
will be knocked down by the other party directly with a stick!
Wren quickly looked up and looked around, at this point, most of the townspeople had already gone home for dinner, and there were very few people on the nearby streets, and almost no one paid attention to what was happening here.
Moreover, Ren's house is at the end of the main road of the town, and the location is remote, so there are fewer people coming and going.
Wren thought for a moment, and with some effort, dragged the attacker to the woods to the side.
and found a rattan the thickness of a thumb, three circles inside and three circles outside, and tied the other party under a big tree.
At this time, Wren tore off the black face towel that the other party used to hide people's ears.
"Huh! This....... Isn't this the 'drunkard Jack' who often hangs out in the tavern? ”
The town of Shining Gold was not big, and Wren immediately recognized the identity of the other party.
After a little thought, Wren thought of a few people who might do this, thick eyebrows? Freckles? Or the other two second generations?
Obviously, the two with thick eyebrows and freckles are the most likely.
Wren thought about it and woke up the drunkard Jack.
"Wren, you stinky boy, don't let me go soon!!"
"Hmm........"
I saw Wren quickly take off the drunkard Jack's stinky socks and stuff them into his mouth.
Although the forest was densely wooded and soundproofed, Wren quickly covered his mouth just in case.
After the stinky socks that had not been washed for at least a month were stuffed into Jack's mouth, even he himself turned red and was smoked so that tears and snot fell down!
Wren also rubbed his hand that had touched the stinky socks on the ground in disgust.
"I ask, you answer! Understand, just nod! Wren crouched down and stared at Jack Dao, who was tied into a dumpling.
It seemed that it was smoked, and Jack nodded violently in a hurry!
Wren took the stinky sock out of the drunkard Jack's mouth and said, "Who told you to attack me?" ”
Drunkard Jack gasped for breath and said, "Wren, if you don't want me to trouble your family, you'd better let me go immediately, or ......."
"Hmm......."
Jack the drunkard is once again covered in a stinky sock.
Wren looked at the drunkard Jack with a vicious look in his eyes and said, "It seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet, this is the forest, as long as I let a little blood, it won't be long before the beasts will be attracted." ”
"Drunkard Jack, you don't have any relatives in Shining Gold Town, and no one cares about you, and after people find out that you are missing, it is estimated that ten days and half a month will pass."
"You said I was ........"
