Chapter 41

When Xavier went out early in the morning, Ender heard it. But Ender thought he was just going out for a walk. Many older people have the habit of getting up early, which is nothing strange.

But Ander never expected that Xavier would run away early in the morning for the weapons and leather armor of these dead people at this age.

"Here, this fine leather armor made of black scale python skin is worth at least fifty gold coins. These two leather armors are much worse, but they are pretty good, each one is worth three gold coins."

The black leather armor in Xavier's hand was the one worn by the thief leader Holder. It looked inconspicuous at first glance. Ender was completely unaware of such things that he could not even slap him. Apart from that belt, Ender did not take away this leather armor.

But now Xavier says it is worth thirty gold coins - if I had known this thing was worth thirty gold coins, Ender would definitely not have disliked it.

The official salary of the Guardian Hunter is only three gold coins per month, and this leather armor is worth fifty gold coins.

"And you see, these two bows are very good, and there is also this crossbow - look, you just throw such valuable things there and ignore them?"

Xavier trembled the leather armor in his hand and scolded Ender.

In his opinion, Ande was naturally a promising young man. However, the landlord's family did not have any surplus food, and even the baron master was short of money. How much wealth would he lose in the future if Ande didn't pay attention to collecting spoils like this?

Ender couldn't refute. If Xavier took these things back and put them in his pocket, Ender certainly wouldn't have to listen to his nonsense, but it was obvious that they were getting these things for him, so even if they were criticized, Ender had to listen obediently - this old man said so much.

However, Ender still had a way to get out of the predicament: "Uncle Xavier, I'll get the rest back."

As he said that, Ander ran away.

———————————

After the Harvest Festival, it is already late autumn and the weather is no longer very hot.

But after a night, the bodies on the forest path still emitted a more unpleasant smell than last night.

By the time Ender arrived, there were already some foxes, rats and crows appearing near the corpses, but there were no large carnivorous beasts such as bears and tigers.

Large carnivorous beasts have their own hunting territory and will not easily cross the line. This is a place where hunters repeatedly patrol and clear. The large carnivorous beasts that dare to appear here have become food on the dining table, and their fur has been replaced with silver coins - animals such as deer and wild boar can live here.

Ander endured the stench, collected the weapons, then found a soft depression, dug a large pit, and threw the body into it and buried it in a hurry.

It took at most five minutes to kill all these thieves, but it took me five minutes to clean the scene and dig a hole to bury the corpse. Ande worked for two hours - because the corpse smelled bad and Ande was unwilling to search for her.

Now Ande has nearly a hundred gold coins in his hand, and there will be a steady stream of income in the future. He adheres to the attitude of spending enough money to be good - there is no entertainment in this world, and watching a circus performance is like the New Year - so Ande is not interested in touching the body for a little money.

Touching a corpse is not a clean job, you may accidentally touch your shit and urine.

Before enough benefits, Ander did not accept this level of dirt. When he could hardly even eat, he was responsible for cleaning at the Reult Hotel. He had contacted all kinds of dirt and vomit. But later Ander became more developed and stopped doing this.

But as Xavier said, although he doesn't like these ragged weapons, he still has some value. After he has a hunter apprentice and some subordinates, he can let them do this dirty and tiring work.

——————————————

"Sister Kelly, do you know what kind of person that Lord Ender is?"

A girl, who has a lot of freckles on her round face and is about twelve or thirteen years old, asked with some concern.

"How could I know that I haven't seen him before."

The girl who was talking had dark red hair, wearing a pair of tangy linen pants and a red top. She sat on the big rock and was bored with a small stone.

"It would be great if Lord Ander was willing to accept us as apprentices." Feila looked at the two boys standing on the other side and said helplessly.

"Come on, Phila, we two are here to serve as foils for them. Who would accept girls as hunter apprentices?" Kelly looked at the other side, where there were two boys about the same age as them.

"But I really want to be a hunter apprentice, so I don't have to marry Mr. Kott anymore." Feila looked at the woods in the distance and said sadly.

"Hmph, your father is a bastard, he's crazy about money. That old turtle, Kurt, can't even straighten his waist when walking. Your father actually wants to marry you to him, just for the betrothal gift of five gold coins?"

As he said that, Kelly stood up and threw the stone in her hand angrily, hitting a small tree trunk thirty meters away.

"—Sister Kelly, you know the situation in my family. It's really difficult for my father to support the four of us." Feila lowered her head and said sadly.

In fact, Feila herself also knows that her chances of being selected are basically zero.

Hunters must have combat effectiveness, so most hunter apprentices are boys. Occasionally, there is a girl, which is because the family turns out to be hunters. Only by receiving training from a young age can you become a hunter.

An ordinary girl like herself, let alone being a hunter apprentice, no one wants to be a friend in the store.

Feila looked into the distance without any god. What should she do? Should she really marry Lao Kuote? But Lao Kuote is much older than her mother.

Someone walked over to the woods, and something seemed to be dragging behind him.

————————————

"Wander, you old bastard, is there anyone who does this?"

In the hall of the Hunter's Hunter's Hunter, Xavier looked at Wendel with a bad look.

"Hehehe, Brother Xavier, please relieve the fire. Anyway, Mr. Ander is taking the apprentice. It's not you, brother. How do you know that he is not satisfied?"

Wendel is an old man from Wall Village. He is younger than Xavier. He originally had blonde hair, but due to his age, it has basically turned white. He took the initiative to pour water on Xavier's cup and said with a smile.

Xavier pointed to Wendel's nose and said, "I tell you, Lord Ender was not going to accept apprentices at first. He just wanted to find two people, and when he was away, he helped watch the Hunter's Lodge. I finally persuaded him to change his mind and accept two apprentices. As a result, you found these children? There were two girls, were they here to make up the numbers?"

Although it is said to be acquiring two apprentices, according to the general default unspoken rules, Wall Village should bring a few more people here to leave some choice for Ender - this is the right to respect the teacher.

However, the old man Wendel brought two more, but they turned out to be two girls. This was equivalent to revoking the power of Ender to choose an apprentice, and Xavier was naturally in a panic.

Wendel was also very old. After hearing what Xavier said, he naturally knew that he had done a little worse this time, but since things had reached this point, he could not bring anyone back - the two boys had stuffed him money at home.

"Brother Xavier, brother, please calm down and calm down. I did something wrong. I will explain it to Lord Ander clearly. Please help me and reject them all. I will turn around and choose older children to come over."

After hearing what Wendell said, Xavier finally calmed down a little. He pointed to the leather armor and weapons in the box next to him and said in a deep voice:

"I tell you, Lord Ender is different from me. If you can be his apprentice, your future will not be just a guard hunter. Seeing these things? These are all Lord Ender's spoils!"

Wendel glanced into the box. He couldn't judge the value of leather armor and other things, but those crossbows are all good things. People who can use crossbows skillfully are definitely not ordinary people.

Wendel gasped.

Is that young hunter so powerful?

It was not until then that Wendel realized that the old man Xavier actually called his successor "Grandman". You know, Xavier is a guard hunter who is about to retire. In terms of social status, it is not comparable to the Xinneng who has just become a guard hunter like Ender.

However, even if Ender is not present now, Xavier also calls Ender the "Grandman".

In this situation, Xavier was convinced that Ander was far superior to him, so he unknowingly placed Ander as a 'adult' position.

So the question is, why did this newly appointed guard hunter make Xavier think that such a young man should be called the "adult"?

——————————————

"Hi-Hello, do you need help?" Kelly asked.

In Kelly's opinion, the boy in front of her was a type she had never seen before. Not only was she clean, but her every move was also very comfortable - well, she just looked comfortable.

Kelly has never read a book and is poor in language and cannot accurately describe her feelings.

"No, who are you? Why are you here?" Ander asked casually while dragging the wooden rack to the stream.

There were many long swords and several sets of leather armor on the wooden stand, all of which were selected by Ande, and the cleaner leather armor. The really dirty and broken leather armor, Ande buried it in the ground with the corpses.

But even so, these things need to be cleaned before they can be used.

"Ha, it's your clumsy, let's do it."

Kelly and Fella squatted on both sides of Ander, each picked up a piece of leather armor and put it in water to clean it.

In the village, women are responsible for housework. Not to mention girls like Kelly and Feila who are at the age of getting married, even younger girls are very skilled in doing these things.

"——Okay, thank you."

"Brother, do you know the guard hunter here?" Feila tried hard to wash her leather armor. After a while, she asked in a low voice.

"Know." Ander said without raising his head.

Ander swung the long sword in the water casually, threw it on the stone next to him, and took a long sword.

"Wow! Are you an apprentice?" Kelly asked in surprise.

"no."

"Oh--" Kelly and Phella sighed together like deflated balls, and their disappointment was beyond words.

"Huh? I'm not a hunter apprentice, why are you sighing?" Ander was a little curious.

"Oh, we are the candidates for hunter apprenticeship recommended by Wall Village. I thought you were the hunter apprenticeship guarding the hunter, so I thought I would come over and please you first and ask you to say a few good things for us." The two girls said dejectedly.

Looking at the two girls' listless little heads, which were almost hanging at the same time, Ander suddenly felt much more relaxed: "Now do you know that I am not an apprentice, are you still willing to help me clean these things?"

"I'm willing, we're idle anyway." Kelly said indifferently: "By the way, do you have grease? After cleaning the leather armor with water, it must be placed in a cool place to dry and then apply grease. And these knives must be wiped dry immediately and then applied with grease, otherwise they will rust soon."

Perhaps there was no hope at all, the two girls quickly became lively again and began to chatter and guide Ender on how to properly clean the leather armor and knife.
