Chapter 3 Shadow Panther

The early morning sun illuminated the entire castle, and the castle showed a huge figure in the sun. Compared with the knight castle of the same level, this castle was already huge. It was inherited from the first generation of Baron Bennett. It took ten years to build the castle.

Due to the incompetence of some heirs in the following generations, Bennett's title was lost and only one knight's title was retained, which made Bennett knights annoyed every time he talked about this.

The biggest regret of Knight Bennett is that he did not get enough military exploits. In the war with the orcs, although Knight Bennett was brave and tenacious, he still did not accumulate enough exploits to exchange for the title.

Therefore, Knight Bennett is very dedicated to the education of children, especially the eldest son Zach. As long as Zach can become a knight before the age of 30, then the inheritance of the castle will be guaranteed. The next step is to see Zach. How hard he can work himself, and whether he can improve his title.

Knight Bennett has no requirements for his younger son. He originally planned to find someone to teach him some arithmetic when he was young, and then help him find a better job in the city, but the younger son chose the path of a knight, which made him Knight Bennett is a little uneasy. The path chosen by the younger son is more difficult than that of his elder brother. Because he does not have his own castle, without his own warhorse and armor, the younger son will become a wandering knight in the future. A recognized profession, slowly earning some money to buy their own war horses and armor by fighting for their lives outside, it is not bad to settle down before the age of forty, and most of these wandering knights will fall on the road.

"You advanced?"

Knight Bennett in the training ground was a little surprised to find that his second son, Abel, had successfully advanced to become a first-level apprentice knight after two months of training, knowing that it took him four months to advance, and It took his eldest son, Zach, four and a half months, but his youngest son, who was the least concerned, was promoted to a first-class apprentice knight in just two months without the attention of resources.

"Yes, Father, I successfully advanced last night."

Zach stepped forward and hugged Abel. The tall Zach hugged Abel directly, circled in the air, and shouted with a big smile, "My dearest brother, you are such a genius."

In Abel's constant struggle, Zach put down Abel, he patted Abel's shoulder hard, and said affirmatively: "You are a genius."

On the other hand, Knight Bennett shook his head slightly with some joy and some sadness, and sighed and said, "It's a pity, it's a pity."

If Abel is his eldest son, or the income of the knights can be higher, then he will definitely train Abel with all his strength, but the current situation is like this, it is not easy to fully guarantee Zach's training, let alone Abel has.

I got the Horadric Cube yesterday. Although there is no way to use the town teleportation scroll, the Horadric Cube as an artifact is not an ordinary thing. After getting up in the morning, Abel has been recalling the formula of the Horadric Cube. There aren't many formulas available right now, so head to town today to see what's helpful for you.

"Father, I want to go to Fort Lee Town today." Abel did not hesitate, and directly asked his father. This is the characteristic of the knight family. If you ask anything directly, there is no need to beat around the bush. Abel started from the very beginning. I'm not used to it, but now I'm completely used to this way of speaking.

"Well, you have just been promoted, so don't train today. It's better to go to town to relax."

Zach said on the side: "I'll help you lead the horse."

Said and ran to the horse gallery, found a galloping horse, helped Abel saddle up, helped Abel get on the horse, and secretly stuffed him a gold coin.

Knight Bennett saw everything in his eyes and didn't say a word, but the consolation on his face was beyond words. To know that the brothers of countless noble families cannibalize each other, this brotherhood is precious.

Except for war horses, all other horses are called dwarf horses, because war horses eat special oats and soybeans, and they need 10 gold coins of feed every month. Without these special feed, war horses will die in a very short time It will lose fat and cannot run fast, and it will become a normal horse.

The horse that Abel rode was a two-year-old pony. Although it was a horse, it was also the breed of war horses in the family.

Abel rode a horse, followed by a servant Norman who was wearing leather armor and carrying a long sword. Norman did not ride a horse, but just ran behind the horse. Fortunately, it was a small horse, and the speed of the horse was not fast. , coupled with a pony, Norman ran without difficulty.

Norman is a veteran brought back from the battlefield by the Knights of Bennett. After returning from the battlefield, he followed the Knights of Bennett and settled in Bennett Castle together with his family. This is also an attitude of the nobles towards slaves. Let Dizong be grateful to the nobles and fundamentally guarantee Dizong's loyalty.

Norman's swordsmanship is excellent, and he became a sixth-level warrior by relying on the warrior secrets provided by Bennett Knight. Although he has no special skills, he is also very powerful by virtue of his superb swordsmanship, so when Abel went out, Knight Bennett was always comfortable with Norman accompanying him.

"Master, stop."

Norman had already drawn his hand sword from behind, held it in his hand, and stared at the woods beside the road. It is half an hour away from the castle, and half an hour away from the town of Fort Lee. If something happens to this location, it is impossible to ask for help from both sides.

Abela stopped the horse, pulled out the fine iron dagger from Zach from his waist, and asked softly, "What did you find?"

Abel was much taller than Norman on the horse, but he observed carefully and found nothing. When it was strange, with a roar, a dark shadow came out of the woods. Now Abel could see clearly, it was A shadow panther.

The shadow leopard's speed was too fast. It ran to the horse in a few steps and bit the horse's neck. This horse is the descendant of the war horse. At this critical moment, the horse neighed and jumped back, just letting the shadow leopard pass. This one is a must.

Norman had already rushed up, the long sword slashed forward, and there was a screaming sound in the air, and the sword had already slashed towards the Shadow Panther. The shadow leopard is not an ordinary leopard. It usually does not appear during the day, and it still appears on the road. What it likes most is to hide in the dark and bite off the neck of the prey while waiting for the prey to pass by. Today, this situation is estimated to be This shadow leopard was so hungry that it had to rush out of the forest to find its prey.

Shadow Leopard is too fast, every strike of Norman is dodged by Shadow Leopard, and Shadow Leopard's attack does not have much effect, the experienced Norman can always successfully block Shadow Leopard with his great sword s attack.

Abel jumped off his horse and slowly approached the battlefield. The Shadow Leopard didn't care about this short human. Experience told it that as long as the sword-wielding human in front of him was knocked down, there would be enough food.

Without entering the battlefield immediately, Abel just slowly looked for opportunities around the battlefield. Entering the battlefield at this time would only cause trouble for Norman, and for the Shadow Leopard, weak and short humans, even with all their strength, could not. break its fur.

At this time, the first contact between Norman and the Shadow Panther began. Norman's long sword slashed on the Shadow Panther's back. It was originally intended to be a sword to the neck. With a twist of the Shadow Panther, it gave way. key. The Shadow Panther's tail twitched on Norman's leg, and Norman's face showed a painful expression, and his back footsteps were a little staggered because of the leg injury.

At this moment, Abel took a deep breath, and a powerful force gushed out from his Qi veins. This is a way for the apprentice knight to overdraw his body. The com only has the power of one blow, and a large amount of qi in the qi pulse is converted into power in an instant. If there is a second blow, then the qi pulse will be shattered uncontrollably.

It's too late and it's too fast. The moment the Shadow Leopard hit the sword and threw its tail, there was a pause in the air. This was the opportunity that Abel had been waiting for for a long time. He stepped on the ground, and the man rushed out. , The shadow leopard in the air also saw Abel's figure, but although the injury just now was not fatal, it also affected its activities. Abel's dagger stretched out behind the shadow leopard and inserted it through its back door.

"Oh~~" The Shadow Leopard screamed. At this time, Abel had released the dagger in his hand, and the man had stepped back, followed by a black tail swept in front of Abel.

Norman dragged Abel behind him with a limping wound. At this time, the Shadow Panther was rolling on the ground continuously, the sound became smaller and smaller, and slowly stopped moving.

Abel was about to step forward to check, but Norman grabbed Abel and said, "Be careful." After that, he took off the scabbard from behind and threw it at the Shadow Panther. The Shadow Panther suddenly stretched out when he was about to hit the Shadow Panther. He pulled out his claws and scratched on the scabbard, and there was no more sound.

Norman stepped forward and picked up the scabbard from the ground, looked at the paw prints on it and said to Abel, "Master, many beasts have the habit of making the last blow."

Then he lifted the body of the Shadow Leopard from the ground, looked at the wound at the back door, took out the dagger from the wound, and said with a smile, "This was killed by the young master, what should the young master say to deal with it?"

"Take it to town and sell it."

Abel looked at Norman's legs again and said, "Next, you ride a horse and put the Shadow Panther on it."

Norman is not polite. For him, his life belongs to the Bennett family, and the injury does not affect his journey. The best way is to ride his own horse.
