Chapter 121: Arrival
Pulling the wagons full of timber, the train from Meadow finally arrived at the Tesia freight station in the early morning of the next day. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The wind whined in his ears, and the three of Carré lay on the roof of the train, not sleeping all night, Carré's spirit was fine, but Delina and Nina were not in such a good state, their eyes were slightly dark, and they looked very sluggish.
Sensing the train begin to slow down, Carré looked up and saw the vague structure of the freight train station.
In order to hide his whereabouts with Delina, Carré jumped off the fast-moving train with Nina on his back and Delina on his back, the speed of the train was still about 100 kilometers per hour, and among the three, Carré had the strength to jump off the train intact.
Not far from the freight train station is a bazaar, which is already bustling with activity even in the early morning, with the smell of breakfast shops tickling the taste buds of passers-by.
Carré also saw the market not far away when he was observing the train station from the top of the train, and led Delina and Nina to the market, found a clean-looking hotel, paid a small deposit, and enjoyed breakfast in their room.
"Nina, do you know where this is?" After taking a large bite of the wheat-scented bread and swallowing the fragrant milk, Carré asked.
"No...... I don't know, although I grew up in the province of Tasia, I almost never left my hometown, and when I was eighteen years old, after graduating from the Tasia Higher Nursing College, I went directly to work in the Imperial Capital City Defense Military Hospital. Nina put down the bread in her hand and replied.
Her face was slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed, this kind of answer would not make Carré think that she was a country girl, although she was.
"Oh, it's okay!" Carré replied casually, it wasn't a big deal.
After quickly finishing the food in front of him and wiping the milk stains from the corners of his mouth with a moist napkin, Carré stood up and said to Delina, "I'll go out to find out the situation, you and Nina stay in the room and have a good rest." ”
Then he continued to say to Nina: "Don't worry, rest well, in these two days, I will definitely send you home." ”
After leaving the inn, strolling through the bazaar, finding a random bar, and ordering a bottle of beer in the bar, at least for the common people, Carré did not take much effort to learn from the barkeeper that this was the eastern suburb of Versailles, the frontier city closest to the border between the Empire and Austria-Hungary, less than a hundred miles from the border, and that he could reach it in half an hour if he ran with all his might, which made him feel a little happy.
Shaking the orange-yellow liquor in the beer glass, Carré pretended to be casual and asked, "Boss, I heard that there are a few bars here that are messy, it can't be this one!" ”
"! Who doesn't know that I'm the most stable bar in the Marido region! The owner of the bar, a man in the prime of life covered in muscles like iron, immediately blew his beard and glared at Carré's words, causing the employees who were cleaning the bar to look sideways.
The market where Carré is located belongs to the Marido region.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Carré smiled and spread his hands in apology.
"Humph!" The bar owner calmed down his anger when he heard Carré's apology, opened a bottle of spirits and took a big sip of the bottle, the irritating liquor made the bar owner's face flush, put the bottle heavily on the bar, and said loudly: "The most chaotic bar in the market is the Blood Rose, you better not go there, the customers who go there are not good people!" ”
The barkeeper should be a good person, and when he saw Carré's somewhat thin body, he reminded him.
"Thank you, boss!" Carré raised his glass and toasted the bar owner, the orange-yellow liquor had a hint of bitterness, followed by a rich wheat aroma and a faint burning sensation of alcohol, this beer was indeed good.
Swallowing the beer in his mouth, Carré smiled and asked, "Boss, do you know where that Scarlet Rose is?" ”
"To the east of the marketplace!" The owner of the bar thinks that Carré is trying to avoid the Scarlet Rose, and tells Carré directly, after all, this kind of thing can be found by asking anyone on the street.
I chatted with the bar owner for a while, and got enough information without the bar owner realizing it.
Good dialogue skills are crucial during an escape, especially during an escape that lasts tens of thousands of kilometers. While in prison, Carré deliberately read a lot of psychological books, and his skills in dialogue with others have been greatly improved.
Having the news he needed, Carré said goodbye to the bar owner and left the bar.
Looking at the bar counter with a glass of good beer, the bar owner looked a little heartbroken, looked left and right, and found that the employees were working hard, and no one was paying attention to him, suddenly picked up his glass, drank the delicious beer in one gulp, and then let out a long sigh of satisfaction.
Wasting beer, especially delicious beer, is a heinous sin, and I would never allow that to happen.
Out of the bar, Carré walked towards the east side of the bazaar, and after asking a few passers-by, he walked directly in front of the Scarlet Rose Bar.
The bar hadn't opened yet, the rough door of the black iron forged door was closed, and Carré didn't regret it, he hadn't intended to enter the bar at this time, he walked around the bar for a while, remembering the road around him, and he left here.
Instead of going straight back to the hotel, Carré walked around the bazaar for a while, stopped in front of a weapons shop, and walked inside.
Probably because it is located on the border, there are many weapons in the weapon shop, and most of them seem to be of good quality, shining with a sharp cold light, and the weapons are arranged in an orderly manner on rows of wooden shelves.
"Welcome, do you need any weapons?" A clean-looking young man stepped forward and asked with a smile.
He didn't think that Carré was just wandering around the weapon shop because of his age, and in the border areas, martial arts were prevalent, and twelve or thirteen-year-olds would often go to the weapon shop with the pocket money they had saved for several years to buy a weapon that they had loved for a long time.
"A cross sword that fits my height." Carré spoke, and then stretched his arm and gestured, "It's about this long, about one meter two!" ”
The young man thought for a while, there was no surprise, the martial arts purchased by a teenager of this age were often cross swords, he took a cross sword from the wooden frame and handed it to Carré, and said with a smile: "Made of ten forged black iron, beautiful in shape, sharp blade, many teenagers have bought it, and the price is also cheap, twelve silver coins." ”
Taking the cross sword, Carley looked at the blade of the sword, erected the long sword, flicked the blade of the sword with his fingers, and heard the slightest crisp collision, he glanced at the young man, returned the cross sword in his hand to the young man, and said, "Is there a little better!" It's best to be similar to the cross sword equipped by the elite legionnaires of the Empire, and besides, this sword is just made of ordinary black iron, not ten forged black iron. ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on the young man's face, and he was secretly surprised by the young man's insight in front of him, and he himself couldn't tell the difference between the ten-forged black iron and the ordinary black iron.
Putting the cross sword back on the wooden frame, the young man smiled and said, "That, haha, this is the boss's order, and I can't help it!" As for the Cross Sword that you would be equipped with with the elite Legionnaires of the Empire, we do have them, but none of them are suitable for your height. ”
"It's okay!" Carré waved his hand and said, "Take it and see!" ”
With his current swordsmanship, the length and shortness of the cross sword did not have much impact on his strength, but the sword suitable for his height made him more comfortable to use.
"Okay, you wait a minute!" The young man nodded to Carré, opened the wooden door in the room, and stepped inside.
After a while, the young man returned, holding a long wooden box in his hand, followed by a middle-aged man with a small mustache.
"This is my boss, Cheriffe." The young man introduced the middle-aged man beside him, "This kind of cross sword is usually sold by the boss himself. ”
"Customer, are you going to buy a sword?" Cheliff asked with a smile as he looked at Carré.
Carré nodded.
"Hehe, that price is not cheap, after all, it is a high-end product!" The owner of the weapon shop smiled a little obscenely and rubbed his hands.
"Price is not an issue!" Carré glanced at this person, knowing that he would be slaughtered if he said this, but at the moment he was fleeing for his life, and he couldn't care much, and Rhett gave himself a lot of gold coins, which were thousands of gold coins, which were assets that many civilians could not obtain in their lifetime.
The owner of the weapons shop smiled even more happily, his eyes narrowed, and he waved his hand, motioning for the young man next to him to present the cross sword.
Opening the wooden box, the young man took out the cross sword and handed it to Carré.
Taking over the cross sword, Carré secretly admired in his heart, the cross sword is about one meter four, the whole body is made of fine iron, the sword body is silver and white, and it can faintly illuminate the shadow of a person, and the hilt is wrapped with dark gray shark skin, and the hand of holding the sword is comfortable and non-slip.
"However, this cross sword is too similar to the cross sword of the elite legionnaires of the Empire, no, it is exactly the same." Carré secretly said in his heart, "Nine times out of ten, this kind of long sword is smuggled, but even the weapons of the Imperial Elite Legion can be smuggled out, and those people in the Imperial Military Logistics Department are too depraved!" ”
However, he didn't care about the smuggling of arms, and he took his eyes off the crosssword, "How much." ”
He was very satisfied with this sword, and this level of cross sword was just right for his strength.
"I see that you have the heart to buy it, I don't want much, a thousand gold coins, although it is a bit expensive, but this sword is definitely worth this price!" The owner of the weapon shop said with a sincere face.
"Really!" Carré showed a dangerous smile, although this kind of long sword is of good quality, it is only twenty or thirty gold coins at most, this weapon shop owner sees that he is wearing a high-quality costume, he wants to kill people, if this person bids one or two times the specifications, he will forget it, but he didn't expect the lion to open his mouth.
Holding the cross sword, with a wave of his arm, the weapon shop owner only felt a cold light flash in front of him, and without the slightest reaction, the sharp blade was on his neck.
"Do you know what the consequences of a commoner deceiving an earl's first heir?" Carré smiled at the boss in front of him.
His voice was full of laughter, but the meaning contained in it made the weapon shop owner sweat coldly, noble, not a commoner like him could afford to provoke.
In the Jialan Empire, although a nobleman kills a commoner for no reason, he has to resist his life in the law, but everyone knows that this is just a fig leaf on the surface, and in fact, when a nobleman kills a commoner, it is often a matter of paying some money.
The owner of the weapon shop did not doubt the authenticity of Carré's words, first, Carré had an inexplicable noble temperament, which could not be obtained with money, and could only be possessed by strict aristocratic training.
The second is Carley's strength, with his black iron three-star strength, he doesn't have the slightest backhand power in front of Carley, Twelve Three Water has this kind of strength, and he can't cultivate it even if he is not a big noble, which is also the most convincing reason for him.
"That, that, I said it wrong, it's not a thousand gold coins, it's a gold coin, my lord, my lord, my mouth is wrong, I didn't make it clear." The sharp blade of the sword was attached to his neck, and the weapon single boss said with a sad face and a forced smile.
With a cold snort and retracting the cross sword, Carré said lightly: "I ask you, where did this sword come from, don't say that you bought it from the blacksmith, I still recognize the cross sword produced by the imperial military." ”
The owner of the weapons shop was even more convinced that Carré was the son of a great nobleman, otherwise he would not have recognized this as a cross sword produced by the Imperial Military at a glance, he bent down and said respectfully: "That, my lord, I bought it on the black market, five gold coins a piece." ”
"Are there a lot of weapons on the black market?" Carré pretended to ask casually, but he was actually very surprised in his heart, the smuggling of imperial arms was too rampant, and a small weapon shop owner could buy it, and he dared to sell it in his own shop.
The owner of the weapon shop said: "Not very many, but also a lot, in addition to cross swords, there are also daggers, shields, bows and arrows, all of which are available in the black market, and every once in a while there will be a large number of weapons of the army for public sale in the black market." ”
"Imperial military, it's too rotten! I don't know if it's a phenomenon peculiar to the military of Tesia, or if it's the military of the entire empire. Carré sighed in his heart.
"Didn't you just say that you bought a lot of military weapons on the black market, take them all out and take a look!"
"Ahh The owner of the weapons shop screamed.
Ten minutes later, Carré left the weapon shop satisfied, with two cross swords pinned to him, two daggers in his arms, and a large square shield in his hand, and walked to a place where no one was, and took the weapon back to the space hedron.
Of course, he did not take the weapons of the weapon shop owner for nothing, but used the boss's purchase price, which can be regarded as a lesson to the greedy weapon shop owner.
After selling his weapon, he walked to the hotel, where Nina was already asleep, and Delina was sitting on the sofa with a drowsiness, worried that Nina would not sneak away.
"Sleep!" Carré whispered to Delina, a little heartbroken.
Nodding, Delina didn't refuse, just lay on the sofa, and fell asleep after a while.
After walking into the bathroom, washing up briefly and changing into clean clothes, Carré sat down next to Delina and began to meditate to regain his strength.
It wasn't until nightfall that Nina and Delina woke up and had lunch with them, and Carré told them to stay in their room, and then left the inn and headed east of the bazaar.
The door of the Scarlet Rose Bar was slightly open, and there was a burst of crazy screams from inside, and when he looked up at the bar's shiny sign, Carré put a dangerous smile on the corner of his mouth, and went straight inside.
