Chapter 247: The Witch in the Forest, Bandits Attack
For some time, Aiden lived near the town and recorded some of the local customs and practices.
At the same time, they would go into the forest to collect herbs and treat diseases for local residents.
At some point, news about a witch living in the forest who could heal the residents' illnesses began to spread from the town.
And this name was spread by merchants passing by.
Gradually, the name of the witch living in the forest spread throughout Scotland.
"What a witch! Didn't I tell you I'm a man?"
Aiden clenched his fists and roared at Golden, who was sitting across from him.
"But the boys in the city don't believe it, and it's not my fault." Golden shrugged.
"I tell you, if they throw proposal bouquets into my house again, I will turn them into monkeys!" Aiden threatened.
"You won't!" Golden narrowed his eyes.
After getting to know Aiden, he found out that Aiden was actually a very easy to talk to wizard.
In addition, the quality of other British residents in the Middle Ages was quite poor.
So the two became friends with some common language.
"Oh, forget it, let's not talk about them. What's the matter with your visit in the middle of the night?"
Aiden put the iron kettle on the fire to roast it, grabbed some herbs and threw them into the cup, poured boiling water into it, and placed a cup of simple hot tea in front of Golden.
This tea is made from herbs that Aiden collected from the forest. Thanks again to Professor Slaupt for not giving up on Aiden, who is so bad at herbology.
"War is coming." Golden raised his tea and took a sip. "Hmm, it tastes pretty good. Can you give me some?"
"Vikings?" Aiden muttered, placing a bag of herbs in front of Golden.
"They have taken Cheshire, Devon, Cornwall, and soon it will be Malbaden's turn," sighed Golden.
"War? Where is your lord? Will he not come to protect you?" Aiden also said in a low voice.
"He! Oh, he got to the throne by licking the dirt of the Sloppy (the nickname of the King of England at that time)."
Golden showed a look of actual mockery on his face, cursed, and stood up to leave.
"The tea leaves are already ground. Take a small handful at a time. Don't put too much." Aiden explained.
Golden didn't know whether he heard it or not, so he walked out.
......
Three days later, a group of Vikings appeared at the end of the road.
They were tall and stocky, wearing rough leather jackets and horned helmets on their heads.
In their hands they held battle axes, swords, spears, bows and arrows, and these weapons gleamed coldly under the sunlight.
They painted various totems on their bodies to show their bravery.
At the same time, they were confronted by the residents of the town, whose weapons were just some stones and iron forks.
In this era when metal smelting was relatively less advanced, it was impossible to form an armed force of the size of the Vikings.
The only way is large-scale looting, but unfortunately Malbaden is just a small town and it is difficult to form a corresponding armed force.
It is foreseeable that if a war breaks out between the two sides, a massacre is inevitable.
"Give us your wealth or your heads (Old Norse)." The Viking leader came out and said.
"What are you talking about? We just want to live a good life and don't want to be enemies with you. (Anglo-Saxon)" Golden stood up and responded.
The Vikings waited for a while, but seeing that the residents did not move, they lost their patience.
"Kill them. (Old Norse)" the leading man ordered.
"Woo~" The horn was blown and the Vikings launched a charge.
"Oh, can you wait a moment?" A pleasant voice like a clear spring sounded in everyone's heart.
In the sky, a group of silver-white butterflies gathered, and a figure intervened on the battlefield.
"Magician (Old Norse)?" asked the leading man.
"Yes, powerful Viking warrior, I have friends in this town. Could you please leave?" Aiden asked politely.
"I told you to hand over your wealth or your head before we can leave!" (Old Norse)
The man gave Aiden a taunting look while raising his weapon at him.
"As you wish, then." Aiden snapped his fingers.
The surrounding grass and trees floated up and turned into large chunks of gold.
The Vikings around were furious and rushed forward frantically to grab the gold.
Some residents of Malbaden also opened their eyes wide and wanted to step forward, but were stopped by Golden.
"More, I want more. (Old Norse)" The Viking leader put his axe to Aiden's neck.
"Satisfy you." The Inner Dragon's eyes were rolled up like crescent moons, and a mocking look was carved on his beautiful face.
With a wave of the long staff, more gold fell to the ground.
The Vikings were so obsessed with collecting gold that they were completely unaware that an invisible mental wave was spreading.
A slight psychic storm struck the Vikings' islands of consciousness, but it did not cause them to faint.
Instead, it was like a drizzle that silently watered the greed in their hearts.
Soon, all the gold was looted by them.
One Viking only looted a small portion, but when he looked at his companions whose bags were full of gold, evil thoughts arose in his mind.
He raised his axe, chopped off his companion's head, and then frantically snatched his gold.
With the first person taking the lead, the broken windows effect begins to take effect.
The operator has carefully woven a large net for these Viking pirates, and now the time has come to close the net.
All the Vikings who collected the gold began to attack each other.
A bloody drama was staged before the residents of Malbaden.
They fought hard and killed each other until finally, the Viking leader emerged as the winner.
The beautiful dragon thoughtfully gave him a winner's gift.
The gold around him turned into grass and dust in an instant, and at the same time, under the effect of soothing, his spirit returned to calm.
"Ah! Gods, what have I done!!! (Old Norse)" the Viking leader screamed after he woke up.
"Now, are you still thirsty for wealth, Mr. Chief?" Aiden put his hands together and said cutely.
"Devil, you are a devil, you want to take my soul, but I will not let you succeed (Old Norse)"
After saying that, the Viking leader raised the axe in his hand and smashed it on his own leader.
At this point, all the Viking pirates were wiped out.
The residents of Malbaden who were watching this scene felt a chill rising from their hearts.
It was obvious that this handsome boy in front of him did not hurt anyone, but he wiped out an entire group of well-equipped Viking pirates.
"Gold, I remember it.", "Rhine Gold!"......
Ancient legends are recalled by the residents.
It is foreseeable that the name of the forest witch will become even more famous in the future.
"Hey, don't call me a witch!" A cross appeared on the dragon's head.
"Ah!" The residents were frightened and fled in all directions.
"Gordon, you take care of them!" Aiden complained to Golden, the only one left.
"I don't have any idea about that." Golden shrugged and went back with his crutches.
