Chapter 1049 The Chosen Hero
"You're too lazy to even change the data?" Zhang Tuohai was speechless.
This was a number he made up just to play a joke, but he didn't expect that The Gate of Truth was too lazy to even change it and just used it directly.
If he had known earlier, he would have made up three or five million.
The account balance automatically became 2 gold coins and 36 silver coins.
"Not bad." Zhang Tuohai rode on the black wild boar and continued to move forward.
It has been raining heavily. I will get wet if I hurry on, and I will get wet if I stay, so I might as well hurry on.
Anyway, he is not the one who is doing the hard work.
Ride the black wild boar all the way forward.
Zhang Tuohai discovered that the wild boar ran quite fast, its speed comparable to that of a car, but mud was splashed everywhere. After an hour, his trouser legs were almost covered with mud, and the original color of the trousers could hardly be seen.
After running for more than an hour, Zhang Tuohai saw a tall wooden fence in front of him.
The fence is more than three meters high and is made of huge logs thicker than a person. The tops of the logs are sharpened and carbonized to prevent climbing.
There is a towering arrow tower behind the fence. In this kind of weather, there are still archers wearing raincoats on duty.
When he saw the black wild boar rushing towards him, he quickly drew his bow and arrow.
"Don't shoot arrows, we are one family!" Zhang Tuohai shouted hurriedly, taking off his clothes and waving them, like a white flag fluttering in the wind.
"Stop your horse...pig and get inspected!"
the archer shouted.
"Whoa--" Zhang Tuohai grabbed the black wild boar's ear and stopped.
After a while, a small door was opened, and out rushed out a knight in full armor, two heavy infantrymen holding tower shields, and 10 light infantrymen holding spears.
Two heavy infantrymen were carrying tower shields and standing in the front, while ten light infantrymen were pointing their spears at the wild boar under Zhang Tuohai's crotch with serious expressions.
At this time, the knight came over, took out a gem and handed it to Zhang Tuohai.
"Put your hands on it." A cold voice came from the helmet.
"Okay." Zhang Tuohai placed his hand on the gem.
The gem instantly emitted a pure white light, like a searchlight, illuminating the surroundings. The soldiers couldn't help but close their eyes, the light was too dazzling.
The knight was also stunned. He had never expected this kind of situation to happen and could not help but be stunned.
"Hey, is this okay?" Zhang Tuohai asked. He didn't mean anything else. He just felt it was a bit boring to keep his hand on the gem like this.
Besides, he was still getting wet in the rain.
"Oh, it's right, it's all right, it's the distinguished hero, please come in, please come in!"
The knight's voice was full of respect.
This is a land shrouded in the shadow of the devil. According to legend, only a brave man descended from the starry sky can save people from the devil's clutches.
The greater the potential of the hero, the brighter the light of the test gem.
The lights of the heroes the knight had seen in his life were mostly like candlelight, flickering, and the few powerful ones were almost equivalent to torches.
There is no one like Zhang Tuohai who is like a searchlight, almost blinding people.
"Could this be the chosen hero in the prophecy?"
The knight thought secretly: "If that's the case..."
"Can you help me find an inn? I need to take a shower and change clothes now." Zhang Tuohai said to the knight.
"Oh, respected hero, I'm afraid that's not possible. You first need to meet our leader Amira, and she will decide whether you can stay in the camp."
"That's troublesome, okay."
Zhang Tuohai felt helpless. He hated this kind of thing the most.
However, after all, it is the other party's territory, so we still have to give it some face.
The group came to a huge tent.
"Respected brave sir, please come in," said the knight.
"Okay." Zhang Tuohai jumped off the black wild boar and walked into the tent.
After entering the tent, Zhang Tuohai was surprised to find that the space inside the tent was much larger than it looked from the outside.
The tent was filled with shelves, each of which was filled with books, scrolls, and various other miscellaneous items. In the center was a large pot, bubbling with activity.
A young woman in a wizard's robe was stirring with a large spoon.
"So you are the most chosen hero? Thanks to the great all-seeing eyes, you finally arrived. It seems that you didn't have a good time along the way. Would you like to have a bowl of soup?"
The young woman said as she scooped a full spoonful of soup and handed it to Zhang Tuohai.
"Uh... forget it, I don't need thanks." Zhang Tuohai took a look at the green thick soup and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
The appearance of this dish is so bad that it always reminds him of the poison cooked by a witch.
“Well, I’m used to it. No one ever appreciates my potions. It’s just a little frog, lizard, centipede and pufferfish. What’s the big deal?” Amira sighed.
"Isn't this a big deal?" Zhang Tuohai didn't know what to say after hearing Amira's words.
He decided to put aside his previous comments. How could this pot of soup look like poison? It was clearly poison!
Fortunately, he didn't drink it just now, otherwise, he, the great chosen hero, would have been poisoned to death in the house of the Novice Village Chief before taking the first step.
"Then, can I stay here? The knight outside said that he must get your permission to stay here."
Zhang Tuohai didn't want to waste too much time here. He was feeling wet all over and uncomfortable. He urgently needed to find a hotel to take a hot bath.
"Yes, that's right. The Great All-Seeing Eye has decided that this is where you will be staying."
Amirah said.
"Here?" Zhang Tuohai looked around suspiciously.
“Yes, it’s right here,” Amira said with a smile. “You must be tired after coming all this way. Please take a hot bath to relieve your fatigue.”
As she spoke, Amirah brought out a huge bathtub filled with hot water from somewhere.
Amira pushes a small cart out from behind the shelf and asks, “What kind of bath aid do you like, my hero?”
Zhang Tuohai looked at Amira's cart, which was filled with jars and cans.
It contains flower petals, milk, sea salt, mint leaves, peppercorns, cinnamon, cassia bark, bay leaves, ginger, garlic, onions...
Zhang Tuohai looked at Amira and then at the seasonings, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. He always felt that Amira might have made a mistake, as these were obviously the seasonings for cooking soup.
"Wait, is she going to make soup out of me?"
Zhang Tuohai's heart trembled, and he came to Amira's side with a quick step. He tripped Amira and knocked her to the ground. He turned over and rode on her, muttering to himself: "Ride!"
