Chapter 16: Big head? I find it very normal .

Translator: Sigma Editor: – –

Gerrard and Sui Xiong, of course, didn’t think that they would be watched by the Pyroxene’s Thieves Guild .

Among the ruins in the White Leaf Village, Sui Xiong had collected some valuable things to sell and the amount of money he got from selling those things was about ten gold coins . With this money, and with Gerrard’s intimidating look, the grocery store owner was scared enough to accept to buy those things .

“That old man is sly; he buys such a big bag of luxurious things with such a low price like this!” Sui Xiong was angry, “Such an excellent profiteer . ”

On the contrary, Gerrard was more open, “Highness, ten gold coins is not little . In peacetime, the villagers all use copper coins to pay . ”

“Ten copper coins can be exchanged for one silver coin, ten silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin . . . so we’ve gotten one thousand copper coins, which is definitely not little . I can buy you equipment . Your robe really doesn’t look that much different from a beggar’s . ”

“Oh, forget it; the equipment that you can buy with ten gold coins wouldn’t have a high defensive force like my body . ” Gerrard scratched his head again and beamed a virtuous smile .

Sui Xiong was very silent . He doubted that when he had made the body for Gerrard, he had made this head not subtle enough, and had forgotten some brain epidermises . If not, why could such a big head like that be so pure and innocent? This bastard was not like this before he had turned into a devil soul .

But when he thought back, a big head didn’t also mean a high intelligence, and this Gerrard was originally simple-minded . It was just that after he had become a devil soul, he accidentally became intelligent for a while .

Forget it, I should take care of myself first . Although this guy is a little foolish, he isn’t the one that should be sold . Let nature take its course .

Gerrard for sure couldn’t know what Sui Xiong was thinking inside . He wandered around the streets with the bag on his shoulders . Due to his over-sized body, he had taken up more than half a street . Everywhere he went, people always stared at him . More than one person secretly discussed spiritedly about him .

“Quickly look! That is an extremely tall guy!”

“He is not only tall, but also muscular! His arms are thicker than our waists!”

“How many rice bowls does he eat per meal to get such a huge body like this . . . ”

“Despite his sturdy body, this genius’s movement is exceptionally flexible, which is good material for training martial arts! If we can recruit him into our team, with a little bit training, he will become a top warrior! Our missions will absolutely be way lighter later on!”

“The Giant’s personality is straightforward and broad-minded . His innate ability is the most excellent . In this small northwest town, it is rare to have such a talent . This old man definitely needs to think of a way to lead him . Even though I can get him to join my master group of subordinates, at least I won’t let him step into the evil path!”

“Oh! Where does this giant come from? Judging from the giant’s appearance, he must not be a normal person . I am afraid he would be a young shaman . Tsk tsk, if I can tame this fellow, he will ‘contribute bricks and tiles for the building’ of my career . . . ”

“What an intense breath of life! This is clearly an innate Druid! If I can persuade him to accept our philosophy, I will definitely spend my whole life to teach him . Even if I die, he would be considered a successor to manage the Druid organization of the four towns in the northwest!”

“Ka ka, this giant can definitely become good material . We can use him as raw material to refine a powerhouse that can beat a silver-ranked Dead Knight . . . Or, may be a golden-ranked one . . . ”

These sounds of people talking were not big, which were mixed with the messy noises surrounding him . Even though Gerrard had ‘sharp ears and keen eyes’, he wouldn’t be able to listen to them . Gerrard couldn’t, but Sui Xiong could .

The voices from ordinary people on the contrary were also ordinary . There were several people with outstanding abilities watching him, which made him naturally suspicious . With his formidable sensing ability, once he could sense something, even if these people were in an extremely far distance, talking in an extremely low voice, he still felt like they were roaring and shouting out loud into his face .

“Gerrard, there are few people watching you . ” He used his mental power to talk to Gerrard .

“Highness, it is normal for people to pay attention to such a big head like me . ”

“Big head? I find it very normal . It’s just that they are very undersized . . . ” Sui Xiong muttered . He totally didn’t recognize his serious mistake towards Gerrard’s height, “but few of them are not ordinary people . I’ll introduce them, one by one to you . ”

“Well, the first one is the one sitting on a table at the hotel’s entrance . He is eating with a few other people . He wants to persuade you to join them . ”

Gerrard didn’t look at him, just answered: “They must be a group of adventurers . These adventurers are very normal . That year, I used to be an adventurer as well . ”

“Oh, they want you to join them to form a black group . Understand, understand . The second one is the old man in a lousy armor at the shrine’s door . He thinks of teaching you in becoming a good guy . ”

Gerrard turned to the other side to take a look, and he saw the old man smiling at him . He also saw a white God Shrine’s gate and the shield mark . He smilingly said, “That is the controller of peace—-is also the Justice God—-the chief guard of the God Shrine . The Justice God is well-known as the Virtuous God . They think this northwest region has little virtuous influences . ”

“That’s not bad . At least, we don’t need to worry that they will betray their teammates . The third one is the small fruit vendor on the roadside . He wants to take advantage of you . That is strange . This fruit seller unexpectedly gets some skills . His skills may be above the old man in armor!”

Gerrard was secretly frightened . He cautiously glanced over from the corners of his eyes to look at this guy, and spoke up . “I don’t know this guy . There aren’t any fruit vendors in this area . Being able to sell fruits here has proved his ability . I guess these guys must be a member of the Thieves Guild or the Smuggling Association . Most of them worship Evil Gods . It’s not good to stay with them!”

“Frankly saying, you must stay away from that cheap person with the black background! The fourth one is the skinny man sitting on the roadside to take a rest . He is wearing a simple leather gown, leaning on a wooden stick . There is a sprout growing out on the top of that wooden stick . ”

“Your Highness, that is a Druid . They balance ‘Dao’ . They are neither good nor bad . But in this area, their behaviors are leaning towards the Kindness Camp . ” Gerrard explained .

“They are ‘although I am not a good man, I hate these kinds of scoundrels’, right?”

“That’s right . ”

“Then that’s good . I want you to get close to them . Make them give you some know-how then let you become their successor . ”

Gerrard was happy, thinking for a while then shaking his head, “Although I want to learn some skills from a Druid, I am serving you, Highness . It’s not suitable to follow the belief of the other God systems . ”

“What a pity . . . . ” Sui Xiong sighed, continued introducing, “the last one is worth paying attention . That is the guy standing in the dark on the roadside . His entire body is covered in a black gown . He is full of evil thoughts towards you . He wants to use you as a material to refine a Dead Knight . ”

Gerrard stopped his steps, turned around to look at the direction Sui Xiong’s mental power pointed . There was definitely a man in a black gown, who was hiding in the corner, sneakingly spying on him .

The man in black hurriedly pulled his gown to cover his face when he saw Gerrard looking at him .

“Highness, is it him?”

“That’s right . ”

Gerrard immediately strode forward, towards the man in black gown, roaring out loud: “You, profane corpse damned shaman, you dare to harm me!”

That man in black didn’t expect he would be discovered in such a far place like this . He was immediately frightened that his identity would be exposed . When he saw Gerrard aggressively marching towards him like a tiger, he didn’t think, directly activated a black art object . A white halo covered his body . A slipping sound came up . He disappeared without a trace .

“Damn it!” Gerrard was almost able to catch him . But this rascal had slipped away . He was immediately outraged, “this is a transmission magic . Those who can do this magic can slip away easily like a fish!”

“I can trace him out; do you want me to find him?”

Gerrard hesitated a little and then gave up this attractive offer . “More than half of the locations of these transmission shamans were likely to have magic traps . It is perhaps the headquarters of their organization . Let’s not involve ourselves with this mess . . . ”

This kind of small conflict was not worth fighting for . But they could learn so many things from this .

That damned shaman was definitely not a weak man . In this Pyroxene town, it could be considered to have some ruthless characters, not to mention quite evil . However, in front of Gerrard, he didn’t have an ability to fight back, didn’t even cast a spell or directly use his protection wild card .

Gerrard’s speed was indeed too fast . There was at least a street between them . He unexpectedly leaped over within just a few steps . Let alone the wide distance between both sides, being able to discover the damned shaman in the dark meant he . . . this lummox from the Giant Race looked somewhat stupid and even clumsy at first, but he possessed an incredibly sensitive sense . His reaction was also extraordinarily fast . Let alone his sturdy body, his force was obviously not small as well . Needless to say about his physique . His intelligence might be a little bit lower than his appearance . He was truly a flawless talent .

Then, the God shrine guard in old clothes directly walked out of the shrine, headed towards Gerrard . But before he could reach Gerrard, a fruit seller nearby had walked past him .

“Sir, would you like some fruits?” He smiled at the harmless man, “Just pick one, I give it to you as a gift . ”

“Why?” Gerrard cautiously asked .

“That profane corpse damned shaman is everyone’s enemy!” The small trader smilingly said, “You have scared him away, it is worth it for us to give you fruits . ”

Gerrard shook his head: “I don’t dare to eat your country’s fruits . ”

When he finished talking, he didn’t wait for the small trader to react, and immediately respectfully left .

That small trader stood confused on the spot . His eyes became gloomy for a while; he then smiled coldly and went back to his stall on the other side . After returning to his stall, he recovered his usual appearance, a laughing good-natured man .

Not too long after Gerrard had left, an old God Shrine guard arrived in front of him .

“A good sin will get a reward . ” He said, “Young man, your physique is not ordinary, are you interested in learning some fighting skills?”

“Fighting? I will . ” Gerrard said .

“But I believe the skills you are possessing right now are pretty simple and careless . For example, attacking violently or jumping to slash something . ” The old man laughed, “To be honest, with your physique, just relying on your skills is enough to become famous, but why don’t you study some advanced stuff? I can teach you some fighting skills to help you defeat enemies faster, and avoid getting yourself injured . ”

“Injured?” Gerrard beamed a smile, picked up a knife on the stall of the adventurer on the roadside, and cut his arm .

A sharp knife was slashed on his defenseless arm, which created a heavy sound, like the sound of chopping on a surface that was as hard as wood . When he lifted the knife up to give it back to the adventurer, everyone could see that his arm didn’t even lose a strand of hair, not even a single trace .

There was not only one person shouting out when seeing this scene .

“Natural armor!”
