Debbie is a girl who aspires to become a giant swordsman. Among all the swordsmen, the giant swordsman is simply the representative of power. So when she saw that her giant sword could exert such tremendous power, her exclamation of "Hammerhead, I really like this one" was definitely from the bottom of her heart. Stephen also sincerely exclaimed in his heart: No wonder she is a violent tomboy...
The wall beside the small courtyard collapsed. On the nearby street, there were stunned passers-by. But none of this was a big problem. Debbie and Stephen quickly tidied up and were ready to go to the city Lord's Mansion first to deliver Efia's long sword.
As for why they are in such a hurry to send the sword back... Isn't it close to noon? Debbie was thinking about it. They had fixed the city Lord's long sword. Not to mention the salary, they would surely take care of the lunch, right?
I heard that the food at the city Lord's Mansion is of very high quality...
When Stephen went out to beat up the city Lord's mansion with Debbie, he could only keep sighing in his heart. It was really impossible to run into such a greedy wife.
As for the fallen south wall, the nearby residents are all very familiar with it and are not afraid that someone might break into the yard to steal. The security in Stan City has always been very good, and there are not many incidents of petty theft.
Stephen and Debbie made their way to the most magnificent building on Stardust Avenue and also the most magnificent one in the entire city of Stan. After the guard in front of the city Lord's Mansion learned the purpose of Stephen and Debbie's visit, he readily let them in.
Miss Effia is in the garden now. Please follow us. A servant came to entertain Stephen and Debbie with a smile and led the two deep into the Lord's mansion.
All the way, Stephen and Debbie kept looking around. At this moment, not only did Stephen look at Debbie as if she were Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, but he himself also felt a bit like Granny Liu. The City Lord's Mansion was the City Lord's Mansion, a grand mansion with imposing structures. If it weren't for someone leading the way, coming in rashly would surely lead to a loss - this was no casual talk. It is said that a few years ago, there was a little thief who was extremely audacious and actually stole from the city Lord's mansion. After much difficulty, he managed to sneak in and fetch some things. When he took them and left, he couldn't find his way back. In the end, he had no choice but to surrender and beg for capture...
With amazement, the two, led by the servant, came to the back garden.
Just as I entered here, I heard a burst of "bang!" from afar. "Pop!" The sound of weapons striking each other.
Stephen was taken aback for a moment: "Is Miss Effia practicing swordsmanship?"
It's said that Miss Effia is preparing for an adventure recently and she is recruiting companions. The servant walking ahead explained with a smile.
"Adventure?" Stephen and Debbie became interested immediately.
The garden of the city Lord's Mansion is very large and filled with all kinds of flowers and plants. However, it is now the beginning of autumn, and the ground is covered with withered leaves. Although there are servants diligently cleaning, when the wind blows, it still instantly gives off a desolate atmosphere. This makes the few people who are competing on a flat ground in the garden immediately take on a rather cold color.
Among these people, Stephen immediately spotted Efiya, who was dressed in a long white dress and looked extremely elegant. Without her armor, she naturally exuded a charming and heroic air. Besides, there was also the two-meter-tall orc Asol, clad in armor, and the human swordsman Balman, who left a deep impression on Stephen. Both of them were bodyguards of the city Lord. There was also a tall human swordsman who was an acquaintance of Stephen and Debbie - this was a mercenary named Damon, who had visited Anthony's magic hut many times and was very fond of the magic scrolls made by Stephen.
In addition, there were two human swordsmen watching. On the field, they were competing against a giant swordsman and a long swordsman.
That giant swordsman was of human race, over two meters tall, with an extremely robust build. He was no less powerful than the orc Asol. Brandishing that giant swordsman did not cause any sense of disharmony at all...
Debbie's eyes lit up immediately. Although there were many swordsmen, the giant swordsmen were very rare. It was rare to see swordsmen using giant swords. Her little face immediately became excited: "This giant swordsmen is so powerful. At least he is a third-level swordsmen!"
Stephen looked at the powerful giant swordsman, then at the little girl beside him who was no more than 1.5 meters tall but carrying a huge sword that was 1.6 meters long. He thought to himself, Debbie must have chosen the wrong skill, must she...
The servant leading the way had already gone over to explain to Efia the purpose of Stephen and Debbie's visit. Asol, who was standing beside Efia, immediately turned his head. The honest orc warrior's face lit up at once and he walked over with a smile: "Little brother, have you brought Miss Efia's long sword?" I didn't expect that you would repair this sword so soon.
The others also noticed Stephen and Debbie's figures. Balman smiled and nodded in response. Damon, the mercenary, was stunned for a moment. Remembering that the two were the little owners of the magic shop, he also smiled shyly. As for the remaining two, they both had very cold expressions.
Efia walked up to Stephen, took the long sword he handed over, sized it up for a while, and then, with both hands, slashed through the air at a nearby big tree.
With a whoosh, a semi-transparent wind blade emanated from the long sword and shot onto the big tree. Immediately after, a series of crackling sounds followed, and some branches and fallen leaves began to fall one after another. She was testing whether the "Wind Blade" matrix possessed by the long sword could be activated, and the result was obviously very satisfactory to her.
The magic matrix on the sword has indeed been repaired. Efia was actually no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but she pretended to have a mature and steady expression and said to Stephen, "Your enchantement technique is quite good. According to the market price, I will give you fifty silver coins for the repair."
"Thank you, Miss Effia." Stephen hurriedly said, and Debbie's face beside him was already beaming with joy. Fifty silver coins, who knew how long it would take to praise them in the past...
Just then, a sudden "boom!" came from the side. A loud bang.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the field. It was the huge swordsman who, after a powerful slash, directly sent the other long swordsman flying. The strong impact force made the poor swordsman roll to the ground. The long sword broke into two pieces with a crack. It seemed that the person had suffered a lot of injuries. After getting up from the ground, he spat out a mouthful of blood with a hissing sound. With a look of unwillingness, he squatted down on the ground again.
The winner of this confrontation has been determined.
"Miss Effia, is my brother Bolton qualified to join your adventure now?" Among the two swordsmen that Stephen didn't know, one of them, wearing red armor, smiled smugly and said, "Although Burton is only a third-order swordsman now, he is a giant swordsman and will provide us with powerful combat power for our adventure."
"Sure." Effia hurriedly put away the long sword in her hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Bentham, since your brother defeated the Abelah Swordsman, he will naturally be qualified to be my partner."
That's great. Bentham, dressed in the red armor of the handbag, immediately smiled and said. He walked up to the side of the giant swordsman Burton and tried hard to reach out and pat him on the shoulder. Burton, on the other hand, gave a somewhat simple smile - this tall man seemed not to be very smart.
So, does that mean our team is complete? Bentham turned his head and asked Effia.
Effia was just about to speak when Balman suddenly spoke up, "Wait a moment. I suggest adding another one to our team."
"Who?" Everyone looked at Balman curiously. Even Stephen and Debbie became curious.
Then, Balman pointed his hand at Stephen and said, "This little brother is a sorcerer, and our adventure this time is an ancient tomb. Such places are always filled with all kinds of magical mechanisms. A sorcerer will play a crucial role in our adventure, so I suggest inviting this little brother to join us!"
"Me?" Stephen was stunned for a moment. How could they actually invite him to join the adventure?
Effia frowned and thought seriously about Balman's suggestion for a while. Then she looked at Stephen and said, "Hammerhead, I officially invite you to join our adventure. After the adventure ends, you will get 10% of all the income. Do you agree?" Sure, since you are an enchantment, we will do our best to protect you during the adventure.
"This..." Stephen hesitated a little.
"Hammerhead, we really need you." Balman patiently persuaded, "Trust me. This adventure of our will bring in a substantial income, and we will do our best to protect your safety - before participating in the adventure, we will sign the oath contract made by the church, so you don't have to worry that we will break our promise."
Hearing Balman's words, Stephen had to admit that he was a little tempted. He knew that such an opportunity for adventure was extremely rare, and after returning from an adventure, one would often earn a substantial income. Every swordsman, mercenary, magician, and even religious believers and knights would flock to any opportunity for adventure.
And with the restrictive effect of the oath contract, it can also prevent him from worrying that the other party's commitment cannot be redeemed.
But just as he was about to speak, Debbie beside him suddenly spoke up first: "No, if you're going to go on an adventure with Hammerhead..." Then I'm going too!
Everyone looked at Debbie.
"Little girl, are you also a great swordsman?" Bentum, dressed in red armor, immediately sneered and said, "Our adventure team already has a giant swordsman. We don't need any extra giant swordsmen. If you want to join us, unless you can defeat my brother!"
The tall and strong Burton immediately excitedly waved his huge sword - as if bullying a little sister had made him very happy...
"Debbie, don't be so reckless. At worst, I won't participate." Stephen knew that Debbie was very concerned about his safety and hurriedly persuaded her, saying that although the opportunity to take risks was rare, he would rather give it up.
However, Debbie's eyes were shining brightly: "This is an adventure. I've heard that by participating in this kind of ancient tomb adventure, you can earn at least several dozen gold coins. You won't have such an opportunity in your lifetime!" She lowered her voice and continued to speak to Stephen in a mischievous tone, "Besides, it's obvious that this Burton is not smart. He's only one level higher than me. Plus, my huge sword was just bewitched by you. Even if I use my ultimate move, the Big Top, I'm scared myself. I'm sure he's no match for me."
Stephen: "..."
Girl, do you need to change your money-minded habit? This is a disease and it needs to be treated.
The rules for joining the adventure team are very simple. Just like when Burton defeated that long swordsman just now, as long as you successfully challenge one person in the team, you can get the qualification. Debbie has already stepped forward excitedly, brandishing her huge sword and pointing it at Burton from a distance: "Big tall guy, come and fight!"
