Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#124 - Gandalf

With a casual flick, the man, originally seized by Liang Yue at the wrist, was immediately staggered and pushed away.

However, the man didn't seem to appreciate the gesture and didn't realize Liang Yue was showing mercy.

After he steadied himself, he turned around, and a gleaming dagger suddenly came towards him!

This man was clearly an expert; his rough face was filled with ferocity. Not only were his moves swift, but the angle of the dagger was also extremely tricky, aimed straight at Liang Yue's throat.

Judging by this, he had no intention of letting Liang Yue live!

Seeing this, Liang Yue narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed within them.

With a subtle grasping motion, he once again lightly touched the other party's wrist, but this time, he didn't hold back.

His sturdy arm shook violently, and a force instantly transmitted from Liang Yue's hand to the other party's arm.

Immediately afterward, Liang Yue raised his foot and kicked the other party directly in the hip.

"Crack!" A crisp sound of bone breaking.

One of the man's legs was instantly detached from the root of his thigh.

"Ah! ! !"

A shrill scream echoed throughout the small tavern.

The sound didn't seem human, and coupled with the man's miserable end, it made everyone around feel their scalps tingle, and they all retreated.

"Kill this kid for me! His armor and sword, sell them and split the money!"

A low, tense voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

Soon, four men wearing dirty, gray robes made of indistinguishable material, looking disheveled, cautiously stepped forward, their faces filled with tension and a hint of greed, each holding an axe or hammer.

From the mottled traces on the metal surfaces of their weapons, Liang Yue could easily tell that they were probably used to doing some chopping and hammering.

"No doubt, these should be a few mercenaries who lick blood from their blades, right?"

This thought flashed through his mind, then Liang Yue didn't say any nonsense, and directly walked towards the four men opposite him, neither hurried nor slow.

Once the other party entered his attack range, he immediately drew the long sword from his waist, which was a palm's width!

"Shing!"

A flash of cold light, and a crescent-shaped arc of light instantly slashed through the four people in front of him and the weapons in their hands!

In just an instant, they, along with their weapons, were cut into two pieces with one strike!

"Ah! ! !" "Oww ~!" "Ugh ah ~ ~!"

For a time, blood splattered, the smell of blood permeated the air, and the screams seemed to fill the entire tavern.

Liang Yue then flicked the blade in his hand, and the blood beads on the long sword immediately flew towards the pitted ground.

After putting the unwieldy sword back into its scabbard, he walked towards the entrance of the tavern, and everyone watching immediately retreated as he passed.

"That ~ Knight Sir, you haven't paid yet."

Just then, a slightly trembling voice came from behind the bar, and it was a female voice.

Hearing this, Liang Yue stopped, and subconsciously reached for his waist, but he didn't find anything.

"The armor and sword were prepared for me, but they didn't think to prepare a money bag?"

After secretly complaining, Liang Yue then flipped his sleeve and directly took out a gold ingot from his storage space, and then threw it behind him.

"Hiss ~!"

Accompanied by the almost uniform sound of everyone gasping, the large piece of gold drew a beautiful arc in the air under their gaze.

Then, with a "duang ~" sound, it slammed onto the bar.

The bottles and jars on the side were shaken and jumped from the table.

Behind the bar, an old man with only one eye at this time forcefully pushed away the woman who had just spoken, and then lifted the gold ingot with some effort, his eyes glowing with excitement.

With a look of enjoyment, he leaned close to the gold and smelled it, and then the old man opened his mouth and bit hard on it with his few remaining black teeth.

Several teeth marks then appeared on the surface of the gold.

"This quality, really good ~!"

"Hehe he ~ Knight Sir, rest assured, I will be responsible for cleaning up these dregs for you!"

"Hey ~ By the way! Do you need me to pack some dry food for you to use on the road?"

Listening to the old man's worldly and slick tone, Liang Yue just waved his hand behind his back, and then, with a full sense of superiority, pushed the door and left without looking back.

Who knew ~ just as this guy stepped out the door, in the rainy night, a tall, white-haired, kind old man walked towards him.

The old man was wearing an old gray robe, a wide-brimmed, curved-horn pointed hat of the same color on his head, and a wooden staff about his height in his hand.

From the other party, Liang Yue felt a strange and mysterious aura.

"Gandalf?"

The moment he saw the old man, he almost immediately judged the other party's identity.

There was no way around it ~ who asked the other party to look so much like Magneto's actor, Ian McKellen... ...

However, having just arrived, Liang Yue didn't take the initiative to strike up a friendship with the other party at this time, but after nodding to each other, he put on his hood and slowly disappeared into the rainy night.

… …

A moment later, Liang Yue left the small town under the wind and rain, built a stone house on the roadside grass, and then built a lava stove in the house.

Just sitting on the rocky ground like this, roasting a small pile of peanuts, cashews, hazelnuts and other nuts, he couldn't wait to start what he was most interested in ~

"System, I want to draw a lottery!"

As soon as this guy's voice fell, the familiar black background, red needle roulette wheel immediately popped up in front of him, and various dazzling commodities were placed around the outermost edge of the roulette wheel.

However, Liang Yue didn't even look at it at this time, and directly ordered the system.

"Start!"

… …

"Stop ~!"

… …

"Ding ~! Congratulations, Host, in this lottery welfare, you have won the life skill 'Erhu Specialization', and a Zitan wood erhu gift made with the most top-notch craftsmanship."

"Bullshit!"

After exhaling a mouthful of fragrant air, Liang Yue's eyes twitched immediately, pursing his mouth, and flipping his sleeve, he took out the erhu instrument from the storage space.

Forcibly enduring the urge to throw this thing directly into the lava stove in front of him, he then pulled out the attribute panel of this skill with a stinky face.
