Chapter Seventy-Four: Gower Town
After several hours on the road, Wilson and the others arrived in the town of Gower in the afternoon.
Along the way, Wilson asked for information about the mysterious man, no matter how fanciful he said, the young man under the cover of this black robe only answered himself very briefly, and he had no way of knowing the identity of the young man.
In his heart, he estimated that this black-robed young man must have a strict mentor, or a genius who had never been out of the mountains, so he would have no interest in these worldly things.
Before he knew it, Wilson noticed that the speed of the carriage was slowly slowing down, and he lifted the corner of the curtain and saw a town not far away in front of him.
That's Wilson's destination, Gower, and this trip is really thrilling, and if it weren't for the appearance of this mysterious boy, I'm afraid I would never have been able to go back.
"Your Excellency, our destination is almost there, and if you have no place to stay in the town of Gower, please forgive me for arranging a dinner for you at your own discretion, and be a little cautious. β
Seeing Wilson's respectful attitude, the black-robed man hesitated for a while, but still accepted Wilson's arrangement, "Then it's up to you, I hope I won't be disappointed." β
Hearing that the mysterious boy had agreed to his request, Wilson immediately smiled, and at first he was still uneasy in his heart, for fear that this cold life-saving benefactor would not agree to his request.
"With my reputation as a guarantee, I will never let Your Excellency return, let alone my own life-saving benefactor. While Wilson was talking to the black-robed man, the carriage had arrived at the gate of Gower.
"Stop! Who's sitting in the carriage, please get out of the carriage and check. β
The black-robed man looked out from the open curtain, and saw that the outside of the town was made of a thick layer of large stones, and then used earth magic to fill the gaps between the stones, the overall look was very rough and simple, and his first feeling was that it was done in a hurry, and the city wall in front of him only had simple fortifications.
At this time, they were being inspected by the guards at the gate of the town, and the guards were lined up in two columns, each with three soldiers, and the soldiers who served as these soldiers were all kobolds.
Presumably because of their sensitive noses, they could sniff out any clues from passing merchants, and one of the guards, who appeared to be the captain, was questioning Wilson.
"Ask the people in the carriage to get out of the carriage and we'll check it. β
When the black-robed man was about to get up and get out of the carriage, Wilson pressed him on the shoulder, "Your Excellency doesn't need to get out of the carriage, let me explain the situation to them, I still have some friendship with the security captain here." With that, Wilson lifted the curtain and stepped out of the carriage.
As soon as the leader of the kobold soldier squad who took the lead saw that it was Wilson, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Isn't this the head of the Heyi Chamber of Commerce, Lord Wilson! The little one didn't know it was your carriage, and it was abrupt. β
"Captain Pierre, you have to follow the rules set by your lord as townspeople, so please inspect my carriage so that we can report to your superiors. β
Wilson said at the end, deliberately biting the three words of the captain very hard, and the captain of the soldier heard these three words, nodded to Wilson in understanding, and then walked around the carriage with a spear in his hand, and when he saw a black-robed man sitting in the carriage, the squad leader froze for a moment, and then his eyes drifted to other places.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he greeted his subordinates behind him and opened the wooden fence blocking the gate.
Then he turned to Wilson and said with a smile, "Lord Wilson, after the routine inspection, please enter the town." β
Wilson walked up to the captain of the dog-headed squad and whispered in his ear, no one could hear what Wilson said, but from the smiling appearance of the squad leader, it should have promised him some benefits, after speaking, Wilson turned around and got into the carriage and sat down, and the butler Gru drove the carriage slowly into Gower Town.
The carriage drove into the town of Gower, and the black-robed people saw the scene outside through the curtain of the carriage, the street was full of traffic, the creatures of various ethnic groups were bustling and mixed together, and the shouts of hawkers and merchants came and went, and the cries of selling came and went, which was very lively.
For those who have lived in the mountains for many years, it is undoubtedly very fresh and curious to feel the prosperity of the town for the first time.
"Hurry up, you splash slave, Uncle Ben just bought you from the slave merchant, let Lao Tzu hurry up. β
An angry scolding suddenly sounded in his ears, and the black-robed man looked at a street corner, only to see a fat-headed pig's head wearing an ultra-wide linen coat, barely covering his fat figure inside, and holding a thick iron chain in his hand.
At the other end of the chain was a middle-aged man in his forties, leaning against the wall naked, his entire skin and bones looking weak, and there were still traces of being beaten.
The human male seemed to be entangled in disease, moaning in pain from his mouth, while the fat-headed and big-eared man whipped the man with a leather whip in his other hand.
"Don't go yet, you antγγγ! β
Every time the ferocious fat-headed pig clan scolded angrily, the leather whip in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting scarlet letters and slammed into the human man, and with each whip, the human male would let out a terrible cry, constantly begging his "master" to let him go.
Seeing this scene, as well as the miserable cries of human beings constantly lingering in his ears, the black-robed man's body couldn't stop trembling, and even Wilson, who was sitting next to him, could see his strange appearance, and when he saw the scene of the pig-headed clan beating humans outside, he only shook his head slightly.
When he saw that the black-robed man was about to take it anymore and was about to grab the car and leave, "Your Excellency, don't be impulsive, this is the jurisdiction of the lord. If you are seen by others in broad daylight, I am afraid that you will get into trouble. Even if I come forward, I won't be able to protect you. β
Wilson said lightly, and after hearing Wilson's admonition, the black-robed man was stunned for a while, and he heard Wilson's words.
After Wilson saw that the black-robed man did nothing, he also put down the big stone hanging in his heart, for fear that the uncle would be angry and rush out to slaughter the pig, and even he would have to take responsibility at that time.
Why would the people of the Four Great Demon Clans be so angry when they saw a worthless human? This surprised Wilson.
While Wilson was speculating about the boy's motives, the group had already arrived at the gate of the Hop Yi Chamber of Commerce.
