Chapter 10 Lost

Budguz is one of the few goblins who escaped into the woods without rashness. When he saw this suddenly growing wood, he instinctively felt danger. He chose another way to try to bypass the forest.

"Old...Boss...they are chasing me!"

Budguz saw the enemy chasing him. It was not a hairy little guy, but a human! Budguz once thought it was impossible, it was nonsense, and it was an excuse for his subordinates to use to cover up his incompetence. But the facts proved that there were indeed humans and a hairy little guy together. And that was a knight.

"Kill! Kill him!" He calmed down. There was only one human. Although he looked like a knight, he was only a human. The hiking knight chased after him, and Budguz had seven or eight subordinates around him.

The goblins rushed forward. The human swung his sword and cut the first goblin, cutting the spear and body into two pieces. The other two goblins surrounded the two wings, but the human long sword swung the horizontally and cut off the heads of the two goblins with one sword. Then there was the fourth and fifth. The knight's movements were so fast that it was not normal. No goblin could hold on to him for even a second. In the blink of an eye, Budguz was left with only one of them.

He stabbed the last blow with his sword, only one blow, and no hit. Then, the Knight's sword cut off from the top of his head, dividing him in two equally in the true sense.

"Ashu Rufat!" Mimilu, behind her, panted and chased after her. "You are running too fast."

"This is the leader of the goblin." Ashu Rufate pointed his sword at the corpse underground. "He is dead, we will win this battle."

Then he looked up at the trembling giant monster. The Mother of Earth was falling down, and his body was re-decomposed into rocks and trees, slowly disappearing into the forest. In the newly grown forest, there were no screams of goblins.

"What is this?" he asked Carrie in his mind.

"Master, this is just a phenomenon. It is essentially the same as strong winds, snows, etc. According to my calculations, the Mother of the Earth they worship is a powerful system. But I cannot analyze the detailed information of this system. It can be foreseeable that by protecting this system, the Semu people should live here for a long time. Do you want to study this system in detail?"

"No."

Ashu Rufate put away his sword, and his armor and sword disappeared again. But Mimilu was no longer surprised.

"Mimilu, take me to find the Great Elder." He said to Mimilu. "The war is over, it's time for me to receive the reward."

"Ashu Rufat, what do you want?" Mimilu's face showed a surprised and confused expression.

"My horse." Ash Rufate replied. "Your matter is over, and it's finally my turn. Mimilu, can you take me to find a horse?"

"No...no..." Mimilu replied hesitantly. "I must... go back first. The Great Elder will send you the best guide."

...

Ashurufat, that's the horse." The Semu guide introduced. "As long as you catch it, it's yours."

"Ah..." Ashu Rufate opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Damn, he should have thought of it! How could there be a horse in such a ghost place? The terrain of the Black Hills is so complex and steep that the horse should not be able to escape!

"What's wrong? Ashu Rufat, don't you like these horses? Their meat is quite delicious."

"Yes, I don't like it." He answered listlessly. It was true. Mimilu didn't lie to him. There were indeed horses here. But these were forest wild horses. Wild horses could not be tamed as mounts. Even if they used supernatural means to force them, they could not carry people. Because these animals are not much larger than goats. They are not even as good as donkeys!

He turned around and walked towards the way he came. Well, at least he didn't get anything here. He had the opportunity to put the knowledge in the book into practice for the first time and directed the battle for the first time - although he knew it was just a small battle, and his performance could only be described as clumsy.

Turn around and say goodbye to the elder, and he can leave. Then carry his travel equipment and walk back all the way. Although that must be silly and ridiculous. In the future, many knights will smile and talk about his appearance when they are chatting.

He walked into the cave and found that the Semu clan's convention hall was once again full of people.

"Ashrufat, we are waiting for you." The Great Elder said unexpectedly.

"Wait for me? But I..."

"You are leaving, right?" asked the Great Elder.

"Yes, I've seen the horses I'm going to see." Unfortunately, it's really just "seeing". These forest wild horses are meaningless to him.

"Mimilu!" the elder shouted out. Then Mimilu walked into the middle of the conference hall, lowered her head and sat down.

"Ashu Rufat, we are very grateful for fighting for us. This battle had nothing to do with you... So, in order to thank you, we decided to give you Mimilu as your slave."

"Uh..." Ashu Rufate didn't even understand what it meant for a while.

"She has been sentenced to exile by us for violating the rules of the tribe." The Great Elder continued. "She will serve you until you are satisfied. I know that as a knight, there are countless battles ahead of you. Mimilu is an excellent warrior in our tribe. She will be your good scout, and you will definitely be useful to her."

Ashu Rufate finally understood what the other party meant. "Thank you, but I don't need it..."

Before he could finish his words, the Great Elder suddenly spoke a few words sharply and quickly in the Semu tribe's own language. All Semu tribes seemed to hear the signals and yearned for a long time to run out. Suddenly, only Mimilu and Ashrufat were left here.

"Master." Mimilu came to Ash Rufat and knelt down. "From today on, I'm yours."

(Note: The author picked up a wild flower and started to break the petals. He pushed down the Loli Cat Ear Girl, but did not push, he pushed down the Loli Cat Ear Girl, but did not push, he pushed down the Loli Cat Ear Girl, but did not push down... pushed down... pushed down... pushed down... push down... push down... don't push!)

"It's a pity that I need not a female slave, but a horse." Ash Rufate sighed. "A horse that can ride."

Mimilu raised her head, tears shining in her eyes.

"Is the master saying that Mimilu is useless?"

"It's not that you are useless..." Ashu Rufate raised appropriate words and sentences, but could not stimulate Mimilu's self-esteem, and he also wanted to reject this unnecessary gift. The Kingdom of Saint Gene has no slaves, at most only servants. This reason is very suitable, and half of the beasts will definitely accept it...

"I knew my master wouldn't hate me!" Mimilu suddenly pounced on him, jumped onto him like a real cat, licking his face hard. It was so itchy that he couldn't even say anything below.

"But what I really need is a horse." It took a lot of effort to pull Mimilu off. "The kind of horse raised by humans."

"You mean those horses with masters?"

"Yes."

"But Mimilu saw that although the horses had owners, they were often taken away by others. Can't the owner take them away?"

"That's the people who paid. After paying, they could take the horse away."

"Money...what is that?"

"It's those gold and silver, those metals! Is there any here?"

"Gold and silver...there are these things on the master."

"I only have a few silver coins." Ashu Rufat took out his wallet and showed it to Mimilu. "It's too few, so you can't afford to buy a horse."

"But there is still something on the master."

"No more, it's all here." Ash Rufate replied.

"But, I smelled the metal...here...here..." Mimilu sniffed, slowly rubbing Ashu Rufate's body. "Here..." She reached out and grabbed Ashu Rufate's waist and pulled it hard.

Her claws (or nails?) scratched something, and several round metal sheets fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

"This is..." Ashu Rufat picked up the things on the ground. Are these gold coins? Did gold coins fall out of his body?

He lowered his head to check and found that what Mimilu scratched his belt. In fact, it was not a belt, it was the amulet given to him by Thomas - he always tied this amulet to his body as a belt. This amulet indeed assumed the function of a belt. Of course, it was a bit hard, not as comfortable as an ordinary belt.

Ash Rufate took off the amulet. After being torn, he discovered the true face of this heavy and hard amulet. In the amulet is silk cotton, and gold coins are cleverly put together and embedded in the silk cotton.

"It will definitely help you when you are in trouble." He suddenly remembered Thomas's words. Now he understood the smile on Thomas's face at that time. For some reason, he suddenly raised his eyes a little wet.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Mimilu asked.

"No... nothing. OK, Mimilu, it's getting late today. Let's take a night off and leave tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Mimilu replied happily.

...

At dawn, he had already arrived at the edge of the Black Hills. The speed of returning was much faster than the speed of going. Ashu Rufate believed that it was because he was already familiar with the terrain of the Black Hills. A gentle hillside had already appeared in front of him. He stopped and looked back. The endless black hills could no longer see the forest in the distance.

"Master, what's wrong?" Carrie asked in her mind.

"Nothing, my shoes are torn." Ashu Rufate replied helplessly.

At this time, in the village of the Semu people, Mimilu was standing in the cave where Ash Rufat rested last night.

"Owner……"

But it was empty and nothing was left behind.
