Chapter 9: The Cavalry from Blackstone City

In the carriage, Chu Yun was chatting with Pike, the owner of the caravan.

Pike is a merchant in Blackstone City, and every once in a while he will go to Rock Town to buy goods and sell them to Black Rock City, and then bring the goods of Black Rock City to Rock Town to sell, and he can make a lot of money after a trip.

Near Rock Town, there is a mountain range rich in fire elemental crystals, which are an important material for crafting magic equipment and drawing magic scrolls, which are always in short supply for large cities like Black Rock City.

"Lord Chu Yun, did you also go to Rock Town for the Fire Elemental Crystal?" asked Pike.

The prices in the origin are naturally cheaper, and the townspeople usually collect relatively low-grade fire elemental crystals, and if they want to obtain high-grade crystals, they have to go deep into the mines.

Chu Yun shook his head: "Actually, I didn't know much about this place not long after I first came here. ”

Pike was not surprised to hear Chu Yun say this, and began to introduce him to the situation about Rock Town and Black Rock City.

It can be seen that Parker is a businessman who has seen the world, and even when talking to a mage like Chu Yun, he is calm and calm, unlike the other people who are respectful.

The conversation was very pleasant, and although Chu Yun didn't know much about the world, the opinions and opinions he expressed from time to time made Pike feel novel.

Just as Pike was talking eloquently about the Asian Style Street in Black Rock City, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Hmm, what's going on?" said Pike, who hurriedly pulled back the curtain on the carriage door.

I saw Hansen running over sweating profusely, and said a little anxiously: "Boss, the wooden bridge in front is broken, and the carriage can't pass." ”

"Broken?" Pike wondered.

Hansen continued: "Yes, and judging by the traces of the scene, it should have been vandalized. ”

Pike was shocked, "Could it be a thief?"

"Probably not, if it's a thief, it should be surrounded at this time. Hansen also secretly sweated.

Parker hurriedly got out of the car to check the situation, and Chu Yun followed.

This is a river more than ten meters wide, and the water at the bottom is a bit deep, and the carriage can't cross it.

The pillars of the wooden bridge were damaged by man, and the bridge deck fell into the water and washed away, and it took a lot of time to repair.

"Who is so lacking in morality, what do you do if you have nothing to do to destroy the wooden bridge! Panshi Town is really a door, and so many taxes every year don't build a solid stone bridge. Pike was a little angry.

The bridge is the fastest way to Rock Town, and it takes a lot of time to take a detour, and the safety of other roads is not guaranteed.

There are adventure guilds on the main road all year round that issue missions to clear out monsters, and passing adventurers and travelers will also kill monsters and beasts along the way, so it is relatively safe in general.

"Boss, what are we going to do?is it a detour or a bridge?" Hansen leaned towards the latter.

Although it takes physical strength to repair the bridge, it is safer than a detour anyway, and safety is the first when going out.

Pike looked around, and there was a forest in the distance that could be used locally: "Repair the bridge, there are a lot of tools in the cargo." ”

Han Sen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to arrange for his subordinates to repair the bridge, but Chu Yun said, "Wait, someone is coming!"

Everyone was a little puzzled, but soon they knew who Chu Yun was talking about.

The ground began to shake, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance, and a group of cavalry squads appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone was a little nervous, but luckily Pike recognized the costume of this cavalry squad.

"Isn't this the cavalry of Blackstone, how did they come here?" Pike was puzzled.

"Get out of the way!" the soldier who rushed to the front to open the way saw a caravan blocking the way, and hurriedly shouted.

Only this time the caravan was not as obedient as usual, and remained motionless.

The soldier stopped his horse and was about to get angry when he spotted the wooden bridge.

"What's going on here? How dare you destroy the bridge?!"

The soldier activated the Bloody Mouth Squirting skill, and Pike hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "No, no, we just arrived. I'm a businessman, so there's no reason to break the wooden bridge. ”

The mindless soldier was only momentarily angry, and he knew that it should not be the caravan in front of him.

The members of the subsequent cavalry squad also rushed over at this time, and the squad leader immediately looked at Pike depressed after seeing the situation here: "Did you see any suspicious people on the road? We are chasing a thug who committed a felony in Black Rock City." ”

Pike was shocked, and looked at Chu Yun behind him timidly, the most suspicious of these people should be him, the clothes on Chu Yun's body are too weird.

Chu Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes, he was crossing with his body and not a soul piercing, but he was not a criminal.

The cavalry captain denied: "It's a female swordsman with red hair and golden eyes and black leather armor." ”

Pike showed a hint of apology to Chu Yun, and then patted his head and exclaimed, "Ah, you're talking about the Red Dragon Swordsman Sivana?"

"Huh?"

"Yes, yes, she passed by my caravan a few hours ago. Pike didn't dare to say anything.

In fact, Shivana also bought a lot of things from him, and gave him a lot of money, which made him a small fortune.

Shivana is also well-known in Black Rock and has a good reputation, so Pike didn't think of her at first.

"What did you say? a few hours ago?!" the cavalry captain secretly said that something was wrong, and it seemed that the information was wrong and he couldn't catch up.

"Yes, it was met about three hours ago, and if she was a fugitive, it is likely that she destroyed the bridge. Pike asked curiously, "Lord Knight, I don't know what crime Shevana has committed? I'm a merchant in Blackstone City, so I don't think she's the one who would do that?"

The cavalry captain was also counting on Pike to help repair the bridge, and although he was a little impatient, he replied, "She killed a nobleman!"

A short sentence made Pike realize the seriousness of the problem, and he hurriedly asked Hansen and the others to start repairing the bridge.

The cavalry captain also asked his subordinates to help, although the other party is likely to have hidden in the depths of the mine, but they are not only this person, and there will be reinforcements in the future, and there may be a chance to find her when the time comes.

In addition to repairing the bridge, the cavalry captain also sent a faster cavalryman to wear the clothes that Pike had "bought" here and disguise himself as an ordinary person to swim across the river and step on the rock town in advance.

After quickly arranging these things, the cavalry captain turned his gaze to the group of women who had been rescued by Chu Yun.

"What's going on with these people? Why are they all wearing masks? Let them take off their masks!" is unlikely, but the possibility of Shivana blending in with the crowd must be ruled out.

Pike stepped forward and explained, "Lord Knight, these women are all poor people that Lord Chu Yun saved from the goblins. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, don't you understand me?"

Pike had no choice but to let the women come forward and be examined.

Naturally, these people couldn't check anything, but soon he looked at Xia again.

"You, come here!"

"Ahh

The cavalry captain grinned, "The mark on your forehead is a slave mark, right?"

"Yes, yes. ”

"Your mark seems to be fading, what about your master?"

Where there is oppression, there is resistance, although the slave contract allows the slave owner to bind and control the slave. However, if you are killed by a slave while sleeping, you don't have time to react at all, and you don't have time to start the slave contract, which is also very dangerous.

As a result, in most cases, slave owners would choose to tie up or imprison slaves when they were sleeping or when it was inconvenient, and cases of slaves being killed for trusting them too much occurred every day.
