Heart of the Castle

Chapter 249 The Trouble Caused by Babrupa

Li Wei was awakened from his dream by a loud noise.

The young knight opened his eyes. For a moment, his sanity was not very clear, and he was still immersed in the dream just now.In the dream, he leaped on horseback and danced swords, and defeated several high-ranking knights with vague faces in succession. Not only did he successfully pass the knight qualification examination, he was also awarded golden spurs and high-ranking knights by the Lord Ansair of Dirk City. Knight's coat of arms with swords.But then Li Wei frowned, because he heard the noise from outside getting louder and louder, with faint screams and begging for mercy.

Wilps also woke up with a start. The Grand Knight Commander first grabbed the long sword beside him, and listened carefully to the movement outside.

The sound of footsteps came quickly from far and near, followed by a rapid knock on the door, Li Wei and Wilpus looked at each other, the Grand Knight Commander stood by the firepit, ready to fight with his sword in his hand , and Li Wei leaned towards the door slightly sideways, holding the knight sword in one hand, and gently pulled out the latch with the other hand, and then pulled it open suddenly.

The innkeeper, Old Bacon, staggered in and nearly fell to the ground.Li Wei couldn't help laughing bitterly at himself because he was too cautious, but he immediately saw the anxious expression on Old Bacon's face, and the smile disappeared immediately.

"You two knights, it's not good." Old Bacon said with a mournful face, "That companion of yours is the short, stubby one who is especially edible." He gestured with his hands, and Levi nodded, expressing his understanding of what Old Bacon said is Babrupa. "He didn't know what he did on the street, and he provoked several young lords, and now he was severely cleaned up and thrown outside, and those young lords still kept making noises and wanted to come Even the two knight masters cleaned up together."

"This Babrupa, I'm afraid he is using his sacred items to bluff again." Li Wei couldn't help muttering.

In all fairness, Li Wei didn't see this little liar doing anything outrageous and resentful. It was nothing more than relying on some fake sacred items to cheat food and drink.During the trip to Dirk City, Li Wei once saw Babrupa use these things to tease stingy businessmen and little nobles who have never seen the world, but for those who really need help, Babrupa will never Go trick them.

This kind of behavior may be an unforgivable sin in the eyes of devout believers, but the knights have a different view of faith. Although they don't like it, they don't think it is such a huge sin.

Listening to the noise outside, Li Wei sighed and said: "I hope he can learn a lesson this time, Mr. Will, leave this matter to me."

Wilps nodded and said, "Okay, Master Levi." Then he said a little worriedly, "I'm afraid these people are the sons and young masters of those noble families in Deke City. , may cause us more trouble."

"I'll pay attention." Li Wei put the long sword back into its sheath as he spoke, and followed Old Bacon out.

The front hall of the "Thunderbolt Pig" posthouse is now in a mess. Between the overturned tables and chairs, the remains of broken clay cups and wine cans can be seen. A young man who is the fattest that Li Wei has ever seen Standing proudly among these things.This person was also dressed very fancy, he was wearing a long black coat with gold thread, his plump double chin completely covered the fluffy neckline of the coat.Around his waist was a belt with gold buckles and an overly decorated sword, all new and gorgeous.Of course, what caught Li Wei’s attention the most was the man’s trousers. Obviously, Li Wei had never seen this design before. One trouser leg had red and green stripes, and the other trouser leg had blue and purple stripes, and these stripes converged at the waist of his trousers. A colorful checkerboard pattern is formed.

In contrast, although the noble youths standing next to this man were all dressed like a group of male peacocks in heat, they were not as colorful and colorful as this fat young man.Babrupa was surrounded by these people, his face was bruised, his clothes were torn, and he was stained with mud and blood.

Seeing Li Wei appearing at the door, a small noble boy screamed. "Look, it finally came out. It turned out to be a country bumpkin from the frontier."

The attention of these aristocratic teenagers immediately focused on the direction of the door. The little man was right. Li Wei's age was about the same as those of the Deke City teenagers, but he seemed older, and his clothes looked much more shabby.He wore a leather jacket suitable for travel, bearing neither a coat of arms nor a badge of knighthood.The traces of traveling and fighting along the way have not faded from the young knight, and he looks like a child of a small border noble with a mediocre family.

The reason why no one thinks that Li Wei is an out-and-out country bumpkin is thanks to the knight sword he wears on his waist. This sword is produced by the blacksmith shop in the heart of the castle, and it has been forged and enchanted by Mr. Dish himself. Gorgeous decoration, but with a sharp feeling.

Due to the special geographical location of Dirk City, all kinds of weapons and equipment needed for the northern border are shipped from here to various places. Many of these noble boys have extraordinary vision, especially the little man with curly yellow hair. It can be called a connoisseur of weapons and equipment.When he saw the long sword on Li Wei's waist for the first time, there was naked greed in his eyes.

"Anglo." He whispered the fat young man's name, "Our plan is about to change. It's good to get a sum of money from this crook's companion, but have you seen it? That long sword?"

The obese young man squinted his eyes and looked at Li Wei for a while, then replied in a low voice, "I see, why, what's so special about that sword?"

"It's a good weapon that can be called a magic weapon. It's a pity to wear it on that bumpkin's waist." The little man said with some contempt: "Angelo, haven't you been pursuing Ansair all this time?" Is it the daughter of His Excellency the Lord of the City? There is no decent gift that can be obtained, right? If you get this sword, His Excellency the Lord of Ansair will look at you differently."

"Is this thing really so good?" The fat young man Anglo looked at it again in disbelief, and then blew a rough breath from his nostrils, "Well, I believe your vision, Dong En, but if this If the long sword makes me laugh..." Anglo waved his fat fist threateningly, and then turned his attention to Li Wei.

"Hey, country bumpkin, is this liar your companion?" The fat young man was obviously the leader of these noble boys. When he spoke in a rough voice, those who were arguing around Li Wei shut their mouths.

Li Wei looked at Babrupa, who was beaten all over his body, and felt a little funny, but he also felt a little pity for him. "I am," said the young knight, "but tell me, what did my companion, Babrupa, do to you to be beaten all over?"

"He's trying to trick us!" said a tall, lanky man. "Using those crude fakes to sell us as sacred objects."

"So when did you realize you were being duped?" Li Wei asked a little strangely. It seemed that Babrupa chose the wrong target for deception this time.

Hearing Li Wei's question, several noble teenagers immediately laughed together, "Did you feel fooled? Country bumpkins, this is not a backcountry on your northern border. Every nobleman in Deke City has a pair of powerful eyes."

"It's wishful thinking to deceive us with some rags!" the tall, thin man announced triumphantly.

"Since this is the case, then you have not suffered any loss, and you have already taught this guy a good lesson, so let's stop here." Li Wei said, walked among the noble boys, and tried to pick up the unconscious man with both hands. Babrupa. "I think he'll get over his bad habits, maybe."

"It's not that simple." The fat young man Anglo said suddenly, he suddenly raised his foot and stepped on Babrupa's body.

"I thought you didn't suffer any financial losses." Li Wei straightened up, with a flash of anger in his eyes. "If you need compensation, just say the amount."

"Economic loss, indeed." The little Dong En said in a sharp voice. "But who cares about that? We are all descended from famous families in Dirk City, and we have never lacked gold and silver coins."

In order to match Dong En's words, Angore deliberately took out his money bag, untied the bag and poured it down, and the gold and silver were scattered all over the floor.

"Ah, Anglo, what a pity. If you don't want it, you can give it to me." The tall and thin man bluffed, and he immediately bent down, about to put his words into action.

Dong En kicked the tall and thin man's leg hard, "Has your head been kicked by a donkey?" He threatened in a low voice, "What we want to get now is that hillbilly's sword!"

"As you can see, we are not short of money." Anglo moved his fat body to block the two companions who were in dispute behind him.He kicked the gold coins on the floor, and of course Fat Face twitched. "Your companion," he pointed to Babrupa who was lying on the ground, "just now he told us that there is a sacred item of the God of War Balud to sell to us, but what he took out was a bunch of raw Rusty iron filings, and it is said to be scraped from the hilt of the god of war Balud."

Li Wei could hardly help himself to smile, this is indeed something that Babrupa can do, take some rags that only God the Father knows where he got them, and talk about them as sacred items.

"With your wisdom, you must not have been fooled." The young knight said.

"Of course not. I saw him right away." Anglo said coldly, "But since he said that there is such a sacred item for sale, as his companion, you should be responsible."

"How to be responsible?" Li Wei frowned and said, "Praise my Lord Barud, I can't get the debris from the handle of the God of War."

"Who wants those damn crumbs!" Anglo said angrily, pointing at Li Wei's waist with his fat fingers, "That sword is good!" The fat young man smiled fiercely, "Give it to me!" Me, I'll let this guy go, and the money on the ground is yours too."

　The first!
