《Soul Summoner in Isekai (LitRPG & System)》23. The Shield
Advertisement
Valcam!
Bloodstained mercenary regiment station.
A tall knight in plate armor with a ferocious face walked in from outside.
"Captain Sharp!"
After seeing Sharp, a member of the Bloodstained Mercenary Group immediately stood at attention and said hello.
Sharp waved his hand and asked, "Who are the people who go to the surrounding towns to collect security funds this season?"
"Captain, it's your younger brother. They've been gone for several days. If everything goes well, they should have arrived in Gruul Town today. In two days, he will be returned with the caravan from Gruul Town to Valcam."
"Harry!" A rare softness appeared in Sharp's fierce eyes.
Although he knew that his younger brother often used his name to do some bad things.
But he only has this one brother.
As long as he's there, it's fine even if Harry gets into trouble.
In Valcam, level 10 knights are already the top powerhouses, and who doesn't know the name of "Rage Knight" Sharp.
"It's already April, and some monsters should be rioting again." Sharp's eyes flashed, and he said to his subordinates: "You go and call the other captains, I want to discuss with them how to get the best deal from Lord Viscount this year!"
"Yes!"
...
Name: Anno
Race: Human
Level: 5
Experience: 7/500
Occupation: none
Magic: 21/50
Skills: [Low-Order Perception] [Acid Jet]
Talent: Sacrifice Spirit
Anno's magic power has never been full because when he was out of town, he summoned four slimes in the alley to prepare for battle.
The experience has increased by 6 points!
"Killing also gain experience!"
On the way back to town, Anno discovered this.
However, compared to hunting slimes, the difficulty of killing people has increased exponentially!
A little bit of a feeling of getting twice the result with half the effort.
Walking to the church, Anno found the priest who was praying.
"Pastor Henry, I want treatment!"

Anno walked to the old priest's side, his voice a little weak.
When old Henry saw Anno, his eyes were a little strange.
A few hours ago, this kid had just had a conflict with Harry, and now he ran back with an injury.
"You didn't fight with Harry and the others again, did you?"
Henry checked the stab wound on Anno's back, and the magic wand in his hand emitted a soft light.
Several wounds on Anno's body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hoo~!"
After performing the healing technique several times in a row, Old Henry healed all the wounds on Anno's body.
"Treatment fee, 2 silver coins!"
Anno moved his body and took out two silver coins from his pocket and gave them to Henry.
"Kid Anno, you need to stop for the next two days.
The Brookers in town is nice.
With him around, no one dared to kill anyone in the town.
Harry and the others just came to town to ask for security fees as usual, and they left in a few days.
Then, do whatever you want.
Don't hurt yourself all day long.
If one day you are careless, you will have nothing! "
Henry turned and left as he spoke.
He thought that Anno was besieged by Harry and finally escaped.
Anno was silent for a while and finally did not speak.
He left the church and followed the town's road to the blacksmith's shop.
Old John looked up and saw the person coming, frowning slightly.
"I heard that you had a conflict with Harry this morning? That guy is not a good thing, you should be careful these days.
Don't worry about the money you owe, it's the same when you go out hunting slimes after Harry leaves. "
Hearing Old John's caring words, a smile appeared on Anno's face.
"Unexpectedly, you already know what happened at noon?"

"Nonsense, the Gruul town is just small, what's going on, it won't take long for everyone to know!"
After Old John finished speaking, he remembered to ask Anno what he was doing there.
"I want a shield!"
Anno pointed to the shield placed against the wall in the shop.
It was a small wooden round shield only two centimeters thick, with a diameter of about forty centimeters.
On the inward side, there is a handle in the center for easy grabbing.
The outward-facing positions and edge areas are covered with a thin layer of iron, which adds a little bit of defense!
"This!"
Old John sighed and said, "Although this little shield's defensive power is not very strong, it is sufficient.
At least block the slime acid or the attack of the trainee professional. And it's lightweight, just right for a little guy like you! "
When Anno heard Old John calling himself a little guy, a black line appeared on his forehead.
He is 1.78 meters tall. Although he is not strong, he is also well-proportioned, and he is not a little guy.
But seeing the huge size of Old John, Anno felt that there was nothing wrong with him saying that he was a little guy.
This shield was two silver coins, and Old John sold it at cost.
However, Anno is still on credit.
Although Anno made a fortune after killing Harry, it was a secret.
From the surface, he doesn't have many silver coins.
Lun, the owner of the Moonlight Tavern, also sponsored him with five silver coins.
If Anno took out a few silver coins at random now, when someone found out that Harry was dead in the future, it would inevitably be suspicious of Anno.
Picking up the shield and fiddling with it a few times, Anno felt a lot more at ease.
"The body is too fragile, if you don't get some defensive equipment, it will easily capsize!"
In Anno's mind, images of Ford and Harry being hit by acid, their skin and flesh corroded.
If they had a shield on them, they would never have been so badly wounded.
Results are also likely to change.
However, without if.
Anno learned the lessons of the enemy and bought a shield for self-defense.
"You look like a knight!" Old John teased at the side: "I heard that Lun supported you and let you choose a career. I think you can choose a knight's career. Hahaha..."
"Do you know that Uncle Lun financed me?"
"I said, the town is small, and some things spread quickly!"
Anno pouted in disapproval, and said, "Pastor Henry shouldn't say everywhere. Lun needs to look after Lu Yan, so the only people in the know are Brook and Owen!"
"Hahaha, the two of them are also regulars here. After all, the equipment needs to be maintained frequently." Old John laughed and said, "After they solved the problem on your side, they came over and just told me."
"Okay, uncle. I'll go first, come back next time!"
Anno was about to leave with his shield in hand but was stopped by old John.
"Take this!"
Old John took out a hollowed-out backpack woven from several belts and stuck the shield in it.
"When not in use, you can carry the shield behind your back."
"Thanks, uncle!"
Anno put the shield behind him, waved his hand, and turned away.
"Boy, you owe me so much money, don't die!"
Hearing the voice from behind, Anno said without turning his head: "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely live longer than you!"
"Bastard boy!"
...
Standing on the edge of the forest, Anno sighed heavily.
"There are still two hours before it gets dark, so go ahead and explore carefully."
