Chapter 9

Chapter 9 Is it Black Iron Grade?

This is a dirty old man, wearing a black robe, looks a bit tattered, and looks like a beggar in every way.

However, it was this man who looked like a beggar who was able to take out two gold coins, which really surprised everyone.

Almost anyone with a little bit of foresight knows that this old man is no ordinary person!

In Rock Town, the person who can take out silver coins at hand is already a remarkable figure, and the person who can take out gold coins is absolutely unprovoked, which seems to have become an unwritten rule.

Because many people are firm in that sentence: Wealth is linked to strength!

The strength of a person who can possess wealth will certainly not be weak.

With that said, the old man didn’t know when, he had already taken out two shiny gold coins with vine flowers and crowns carved on them, which was extremely new.

The people around couldn’t help but glanced at the two gold coins, and they were even more envious. Many people have worked hard for most of their lives, and it is estimated that they can’t make so much money.

But these people are also very smart, they didn’t mean to peep at the slightest. After a glance, they hurriedly looked away, for fear of offending the mysterious old man.

“Deal!” Lin Shu stared blankly, and then readily agreed.

Two gold coins, which is 1 gold coin more than he originally expected. Why not do it?

After hearing Lin Shu’s words, the black robe old man also chuckled. The dangled brim of his hat made it difficult for others to see his face, and only a few white beards were exposed.

With that, the old man threw two of them at Lin Shu, and then with a wave of his sleeves, the poisonous slime flew towards him.

Lin Shu quickly caught two gold coins, and when he saw the black robe old man’s methods, he couldn’t help but admire that this old man should be a magician!

Because of the ability to float objects, it is estimated that other professions except magician are difficult to do. Even if it can, Lin Shu has never seen it.

“Boy, there will be a period later!”

At this time, the old man in the shabby black robe smiled horribly, holding the cage containing the poisonous slime in his hand, and then lightly tapped his cane toward the ground.

I saw a flame on the ground, and under the general view, the old man was quickly burned into a pile of ashes, which was scattered on the ground, and finally disappeared!

There was a blast of ‘Wow’, everyone was stunned at this time, with an unbelievable expression on their faces, and it seemed that they hadn’t been relieved yet.

“Just… That old man turned out to be a magician?”

“Yes…yes, it should be a magician. Only high-level magicians have this kind of magic!”

“Oh my God, this is much more powerful than all the magicians in our Rock Town. I have never seen this kind of magic. This won’t be… a black iron-ranked wizard?!”

At this moment, what many people think of for the first time is a powerful mage who has entered the Black Iron rank and has the noble title of ‘magic warrior’.

It is estimated that only mages of this level can use such advanced spells!


Lin Shu was also a little surprised. Although he knew that the person who was able to take out the two gold coins must not be ordinary people, he did not expect the result before him.

With emotion in his heart for a while, he withdrew his mind, stroked the two gold coins in his hand, and finally put them into his deepest pocket.

“Well, today’s monsters are all sold out, let’s go away!”

Lin Shu waved his hand towards the gathering crowd, signalling that he was going to close the door, his face returned to the old laziness, like a heartless salted fish.

Living alone for several years, Lin Shu has long since escaped from the immature and hypocritical of this age.

In his eyes, nothing is as important as the copper coins and warm food in his arms. This is what reality should be.

Fortunately, he is a traverser, possessing the character of two lives, and his heart is stronger than anyone else. Even the long-term lonely life, or the physical torture of hungry, failed to defeat him.

In his words: It’s better to die than to live.

Although Lin Shu is handsome, his messy hair and lazy face always make people feel that he is heartless, but it is true.

“Cough, let’s go!”

“Go ahead, I have to hunt down a wind wolf.”

Many adventurers and townsfolk from all over heard his words and wanted to leave.

After all, many people have received rewards and need to go to the wild to complete, and ordinary townspeople have to start a busy day.

However, Matthews’ heart was extremely gloomy at this time, but his face was full of smiles, and he appeared very amiable.

He cast a wink at Marion, who was not far away, and saw that the latter looked at his father in a daze, somewhat puzzled.

It wasn’t until Matthews made a gesture that Marion came back to his senses after a few seconds, and then turned around and yelled at Lin Shu viciously:

“Hawson Lin Shu, I, Marion, today pledged to the great temple with a silver coin as a guarantee of God. I will send you a challenge sticker in three days’ time…!!”

“You… must not refuse!”

Marion’s voice was high-pitched, full of youthful heroism, looking at Lin Shu full of cruelty, it was a smile that mocked the weak.

The townspeople who had originally planned to disperse were also taken aback at this moment, turning around and looking in Marion’s direction again, full of surprise.

“Is this… the ancient knight’s challenge post?”

“Yes, I heard that this is a ritual that the ancient knight profession still retains. You can swear to the temple three times a year and use different equivalent copper or silver coins as a guarantee to challenge one person!”

Many well-informed adventurers immediately recognized Marion’s behavior.

However, many townspeople and newcomer mercenaries can hear them in the cloud, and they don’t seem to understand what happened.

At this moment, a middle-aged man who was also a knight began to explain:

“Different coins of equivalent value have different effects on swearing. Swearing with copper coins means fighting and swearing with silver coins. Swearing with silver coins does not hurt. The highest gold coin swears is endless. The key is that the challenged cannot refuse. If you refuse, you must pay three times the oath, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespect for the Temple and the Knights Guild…”

“On the contrary, if the knight is injured or killed in this challenge, the challenged person does not have to bear any responsibility, and the knight’s family cannot seek revenge secretly, otherwise the Temple and the Knights’ Guild will never be merciless!”

It turned out to be so.

Those who didn’t understand suddenly understood in their hearts, and now they looked at Lin Shu with worry.

Those who are familiar with him know that Lin Shu is only an apprentice-level orc tamer, and even the junior orc tamer has not reached it. To challenge a junior knight with a mount, it is to hit the stone with a pebble.

Silver coin swears, it is a battle that does not stop hurting, even if you crippled you, as long as you are not dead, you can’t say anything!

(PS: There is another chapter, the author will write it out for everyone staying up all night, by the way, I would like to ask for a wave of flowers evaluation monthly support!!)*
