Chapter 0096 - A Soldier is a Bandit
Dongfang Guan Yuan didn't take a few steps before he heard someone rushing quickly towards the corpse on the ground, I don't know if it was for the treasure map or for the weapons on the ground, but the person just rushed to the corpse and screamed and fell to the ground.
"Sure enough!" Dongfang Guan Yuan sighed secretly, his hunch was very accurate.
Since merging with the Quick Calculation skill, the hunch seems to have become a bit sharper.
That's certainly a good thing.
Dongfang Guan Yuantou did not return to enter the medicine scab.
He got a lot of rewards in the last game, so to speak, a small rich man, of course, spared no money and bought enough medicines.
When he came out of the drugstore, he saw from a distance that the town officials were carrying the corpses on the ground onto the carriage.
This is a troubled time, there is no fuss about the death of a few people, as long as no one sues, the government will not take the initiative to investigate, and even if someone sues, the government will not pay attention to it - cleaning up the corpse is just a need for the game.
If it's in the wild, when no one is around, the player's corpse will automatically disappear, and most players know these things, and no one cares.
Dongfang Guan Yuan also understands that of course he will not pursue it, and at the same time, he also knows that no matter how fierce the poison of kissing and asking for love is, it is impossible to poison the people of the system.
"These two are really unlucky!"
In the last game, the couple died inexplicably in the hands of Wuhang Wuji, and in this scene they died in his hands very strangely, except for bad luck, there is no other explanation.
Dongfang Guan Yuan arrived at the Dedu Ferry Inn, closed his door, and practiced quick calculation skills.
If such an anti-heaven skill is not cultivated well, he will be a fool.
However, for some reason, he always had a faint feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong anyway.
Early the next morning, when I opened the door, the quiet knife was already waiting outside the door, and I exaggeratedly shouted: "Big brother, did you kill Xie Huakai and kiss your heart?"
Dongfang was stunned for a moment: "What's the matter, can't they kill?
"No, big brother, you're too powerful!" Quiet Knife shouted, "It turns out that your real strength is so high!No wonder you can finish second in the individual competition!"
"It's nothing, it's just a fluke. Dongfang Guan Yuan asked, "How do you know?"
The quiet knife said: "I listen to others, some people know them, big brother, you know, I have good hearing, and I love to inquire about things." ”
He suddenly lowered his voice and said a little awkwardly: "Big brother, you are so fierce, is there any secret?"
Dongfang Guan Yuan said angrily: "The strength is slowly trained, not to mention that I am a wise man, what's so strange about having better qualifications?"
"I'm also a wise man!" said the quiet knife in distress, "It's just that my ability is not of much use." ”
He sighed: "I originally thought that I was not much different from your strength, but I made friends with you because of your righteousness, and recognized you as a big brother, but now it seems that I am really high." ”
Dongfang Guan Yuan said: "Don't say that, I made you a friend, it is similar to you, it has nothing to do with strength, and besides, strength can be improved, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can also become a super master." ”
"I know my problems, I am inattentive, I have studied too much, I will definitely practice martial arts hard in the future, and strive not to hold you back. The quiet knife said: "Big brother, let's go quickly, the boat is about to leave, and they are all waiting at the door of the inn." ”
The two hurriedly went downstairs, scraping the bones and healing the wounds, and the three of them were ready to go.
"Let's go, let's catch the first ferry, we can't eat at the inn, I brought dry food. "Quiet little knife road.
Scraping the bones and healing the wounds glanced at Dongfang Guan Yuan strangely, and said, "Team leader, you are in front." ”
Dongfang Guan Yuan was secretly relieved, since the battle the day before yesterday, this thorn finally recognized his leadership position, which is very beneficial to the next trip, an organization must have a core, in order to have cohesion, since it was arranged by Wei Lao Dart, the publisher of this task, he should not let it go.
A few people went south along the mountain road, and there were several other waves of pedestrians on the way, but there were not many.
Not everyone caught the first ferry.
"Big brother, I have inquired clearly, most of these people have come from the east, there is a royal pontoon bridge there, but the toll is very expensive, five thousand dollars per person!" said the quiet knife as he walked, "and the ferry here costs two thousand dollars." ”
Dongfang Guan Yuan suddenly understood a little, although the system released the treasure map task, but not everyone can do it, and those who don't have enough money can't even get it! This kind of low-level scene, there are not too many rich people after all, two thousand yuan is already a lot of money, and I don't know how much toll to charge in front of me.
The amount of money often corresponds to a person's strength, and those who are not strong have less ability to get money, not to mention that there are many bandits on the way.
Treasure map quests are only for the strongest!
When I arrived at the ferry, the ferry boat moored at the pier was already crowded.
After all, the number of people on the first ferry is the largest, and most of the players who go south from here are going to the treasure map mission, and if they can get one step earlier, they will have an extra advantage.
The ferry boat is several times larger than the passenger ship when it came, with two decks of cabins, a deep draft, and a row of more than ten large oars on each side.
Although the water near the town is relatively slow, the Yokoe is a large river after all, and the wind and waves are so strong that ordinary boats cannot cross it at all.
Because it is a ferry, there are no separate rooms on the ship, not even a table, only a few rows of benches, and each floor can carry more than 100 people, but the ferry is generally not full, and each floor is half full this time.
Dongfang Guan Yuan and others chose a more expensive upper floor, with a wider field of vision.
You can no longer practice on the ferry, and you have to deal with all kinds of emergencies, especially water pirates, and you can have a wide field of vision to warn in advance, and it is also convenient to use a bow.
Although the longbow was not satisfactory, Dongfang Guan Yuan was full of confidence in his bowing skills.
Not long after, the ferry stopped carrying passengers, raised its long sails, rowed more than 20 oars together, and the ferry slowly sailed away from the riverside.
The river is very wide, and in the fog and fog, you can't see the other side, and although the waves hit the hull one after another, the ferry boat didn't shake much, and the hull was very heavy.
The ferry wasn't fast, but it was steady.
Surrounded by endless waves of shisha, at first, it was still a little fresh, but it didn't take long for many players to gradually lose interest, leave the side of the boat, and return to their seats.
Dongfang Guan Yuan stood solemnly on the bow of the boat, looking around from time to time, but what made him strange was that he didn't even see a single hair of a water thief along the way.
There should be many bandits in this troubled world, how can it be so peaceful?
It is not possible for the system to have such a vulnerability.
This answer was not answered until after going ashore.
The ferry traveled for more than two hours before slowly approaching the opposite bank, where the wharf was much larger and wider than the watershed, and unlike the watershed, which was a mountain town, there was a huge valley behind the wharf, and the east and west sides of the water were cliffs, and in the middle of the valley was a huge camp, guarded by a row of soldiers in bright armor.
It's not just a dock, it's a military town.
When the ferry slowly anchored, the gate of the village was wide open, and a group of soldiers came out, stopped twenty paces away, and surrounded the people on the pier in a half circle.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this battle, all the players couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Some people even said uncertainly, "Won't there be tolls here?"
"Crow's beak!" someone shouted in displeasure.
When he got off the boat, the quiet knife asked in a low voice, "Big brother, what should I do?"
"Let's see. ”
Dongfang Guan Yuan has money in his pocket, of course there is no need to panic, these people are soldiers after all, not bandits.
What's more, this is not the main road, even if he pays the customs fee again, it shouldn't be too much, and he doesn't care about 12,000 per person.
Unexpectedly, these soldiers did come to ask for money, but the amount was a bit high.
There were about 30 soldiers in that team, the leader was a fat man, the armor was dark red, but the armor was not fat, and the body held the armor everywhere. ”
"The price has been raised!"
The crowd shouted in an uproar, filled with indignation.
Dongfang Guan Yuan asked in a low voice, "Xiaodao, have you found out how much the customs clearance fee is here?"
The quiet knife said embarrassedly: "This, I haven't heard of it, it shouldn't be a lot." ”
Dongfang Guan Yuan frowned and said, "Okay, listen to what he says." ”
The accommodation, boat ride and other expenses along the way are all taken care of by the quiet knife, but it is all his money, the knife is his little brother, of course there is no problem, Wei Yunru and Wuji are women, of course it is not good to let them pay, as for scraping the bones and healing the wounds, in order to make a prickly head obedient, spend more money and admit it.
But if you spend money like running water one level at a time, Dongfang Guan Yuan can't stand it.
The money he earned didn't fall from the sky, he worked hard to get it.
The fat captain put away the warrant, looked at everyone majestically, and shouted: "This pass has been violated by unknown forces several times in the past few days, and the soldiers have fought fiercely with bandits in order to protect the safety of the people, and have suffered heavy losses.
"Coax!"
The crowd exploded.
If it's only two or three thousand dollars, most of them may be able to afford it, and even if the commission is twisted, it will be forgotten, but the 10,000 yuan is seriously beyond their load, and only a few can afford it, not to mention that even if they can afford it, who is willing to give it?
Walking on the Royal Pontoon Bridge is only 5,000 yuan per person!
"It's so dark!
Many people chimed in.
Someone said: "Look at them one by one, they are all refreshed, and they don't even have any scars on their bodies, which is like after a battle, and they are obviously taking the opportunity to sit on the ground and raise the price." ”
Another person shouted: "This is an officer and soldier, it is clearly a bandit, more ruthless than a robber!"
"I don't have that much money for these grandchildren. ”
"If I don't pay the money, I can only go back, and the boat fare is 2,000, so I don't even have money for food and accommodation. ”
"You're alright, I can't even make up the fare for the boat back now. ”
"This is a problem for us by the system!"
"If you don't pay it, we won't pay it!"
"Yes, no, there are not many of them, let's fight with them. ”
The more you talk about it, the more excited you become.
On the other side, the fat captain took two steps back, squeezed into the middle of the soldiers, and shouted, "Array!"
More than thirty soldiers moved in unison, holding spears in one hand and removing crossbows from behind their backs with the other, aiming them at the people on the docks.
The fat captain said sharply: "My king has an order, but if there are those who resist, they will be killed on the spot! Do you want to rebel?"
