At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation in the distance.

"Let's take a look." Zhao Xu instructed the coachman.

If they don't hear it, they, as pastors, suddenly hear other people's calls for help, and flee from the battle, which will only skew their own camp in the end.

This is also the reason why holy warriors, priests, and druids are prone to nosy professions, and they have strong abilities, otherwise it is not easy to survive themselves.

At this time, although the coachman didn't want to be involved in this kind of in his heart, he heard Zhao Xu's command behind him, so he hurriedly drove in the direction of the source of the sound.

As the carriage passed the half-man-high pile of artemisia grass in front of it, the vision ahead suddenly widened, and I saw a carriage identical to them also parked beside the post road.

The wheels on one side of the carriage were already in a puddle of mud, and a man in a rich fur coat was poking out to observe the situation ahead, and a young child in her arms was watching the battle in front of her with the same curiosity.

Another team leader, a dark-looking man in his prime, carried a tower shield and guarded them in front of the mother and son.

Around the carriage, a full eight guards, dressed in silver armor and holding steel shields, watched vigilantly at the cavalry team ahead.

On the periphery of the carriage was a cavalry company on horseback.

Although many cavalrymen are riding ponies whose endurance is generally unable to run long distances, they can be regarded as strong horses with light armor.

The black armor in front of those cavalrymen was painted with wolf heads, and they were still holding the reins of their horses in both hands to control their horses, but they were pinned with machetes and axes and other killing weapons on their bodies, and they were staring at the few people in front of the carriage.

"It's the Black Wolf Rider in the neighborhood, and it is rumored that they are doing some dirty work and shady work specifically for some of the big men in Mistellari."

The coachman usually walks south and north near Mystra, and basically knows all the mountains, and he knows that Zhao Xu and a few people probably don't know about it, so they explained directly.

"They don't usually rob and kill merchants on the post road, at most they plunder, and now they are staring at this carriage, I'm afraid they have a lot of inside information."

Zhao Xu frowned slightly after hearing this, and there was already a faint guess in his heart.

At best, they will draw their swords to help each other when they see injustice, but they will not intervene in the grudges and vendettas between the nobles and wealthy merchants.

Instead, Zheng Xinyun quietly slipped through the curtain of the car and stared at the battle in front of him with wide eyes.

"Lady Betty, hand over the boy in your arms, so that we can go back to the errand." The leader of the cavalry, dressed in bright armor, shouted, and at the same time he brandished a spear and pointed at Betty's mother and son, who were covered by a tower shield in front of him.

And the lady Betty didn't say anything about this, but the strong man of the personal guard in front of her directly scolded: "Black wolf rider, you came to rob our young master, can you afford the revenge behind your back?" ”

"Huh." When the cavalry leader heard this, he waved his hand directly behind him, and immediately the remaining twenty or so cavalry directly pulled out the scimitar with a cold light in his hand, looking like he was ready to rush forward.

Although the cavalry leader noticed the carriage coming from Zhao Xu's side, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

At this time, he shouted at the side of the carriage: "Young master, do you really think that you will be rich if you climb the branches?" Don't want to think about your background? ”

Betty, on the other hand, gritted her teeth and looked at the cavalry team in front of her. She knew that the child in her arms was the biggest bargaining chip, and once she lost it, she had no room to turn over.

"Betty?" Eliton thought back to hearing the name at this time.

"Heard?" Zhao Xu didn't live in Mystra in his previous life, and now at best, he is just familiar with the heraldic history of Mystra's upper-level mage family, and he doesn't know much about some middle-level forces.

Especially after searching his local knowledge and finding nothing, he really can't do the kind of thing that can reflect the whole ins and outs as soon as he hears the name.

"It seems to be the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce in Mistellari." Eliton's whole body was deep in thought.

Chamber of commerce?

Zhao Xu is no stranger to this kind of organization, and even he knows very well that Mystra's Chamber of Commerce is the white glove on the face of many mage families, specializing in business operations for mage families and accumulating wealth.

Like a quill that can transcribe spells, only three chambers of commerce in the entire Mystra have obtained the franchise, and it was decided after countless disputes behind it.

At this moment, what Zhao Xu encountered seemed to be just a small looting behavior, but in essence, it could be a small microcosm of the entire Mystra mage aristocratic power game.

However, the carriage of the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce and the black wolf cavalry company seemed to be in a mysterious stalemate, and the two sides kept shouting and scolding, but they did not add blades to each other.

And with the shouting and scolding of the two parties, Zhao Xu also heard a rich family grievance drama later.

And after getting this enough information, Zhao Xu retrieved some rumors according to his level 1 professional ability "knowledge" of the monk priest, and after combining it with knowledge (local) skills, Zhao Xu immediately obtained a lot of information.

He also opened his mouth to make up for half of the brains of the two people behind him, and half of them speculated to explain the ins and outs of the big drama in front of him.

The Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce is a family-owned chamber of commerce, mainly engaged in the magic scroll trade in Mystra.

After his wife was accidentally killed seven years ago, Abel remarried Betty, who was already a deacon in the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce at the time, and then gave birth to Webster, Ebel's second son.

Later, as the health of the head of the Chamber of Commerce, Ebel, deteriorated, the Chamber of Commerce gradually became half of the eldest son Harry born to Abel and Mrs. Betty, who continued the string.

The two sides were originally at peace with each other, until recently, the head of the business, Abel suddenly suffered a stroke, and after being rescued by doctors and priests, most of his body functions were also lost, and he was groggy every day when he ran out of oil and lamps, and he was no longer able to take charge of the Chamber of Commerce.

At this moment, the undercurrent under the Chamber of Commerce suddenly began to surge, and Mrs. Betty also sensed that the wind was not in the right direction, so she hurriedly fled with her young son back to her mother's house in Frostdew Town.

That's why Harry, the eldest son of Abel, commissioned the Black Wolf to ride to stop Lady Betty.

For him, as long as he is in control of his younger brother Webster, basically his stepmother Betty will not be able to make any waves.

"Captain, are we going to save them?" Zheng Xinyun asked.

At this time, after knowing that the other party was not a weak woman who was persecuted, Zheng Xinyun did not have that kind of knot, although she didn't despise this kind of behavior, but she would not rush to get involved.

In this situation, where you don't know who is right and who is wrong, rash impulsiveness can easily become a butcher's knife for one of the parties.

After seeing more reversed situations on the Internet, now players know how to wait and see first, chill the melon, and eat it when it is cold.

At this time, the shouting and scolding of the two sides had intensified, and even began to hit the weapons, and the sound of collision was endless, as if the two sides were about to start a life-and-death battle when they could not drink each other.

"I'm afraid it's not our turn." Eliton saw that he couldn't provide more information to Zhao Xu just now, and he regretted a little in his heart, and then heard Zheng Xinyun's inquiry, and hurriedly expressed his opinion.

"How?" Zheng Xinyun said curiously, at this time she clenched the light crossbow in her hand slightly, the bowstring was tight, and the crossbow arrow was about to fire.

It was Zhao Xu who had just taken it out and gave it to her.

Originally, the monster old ghost woman's defense ability exceeded the 22nd level, and Zhao Xu didn't plan to let the two of them shoot with a light crossbow, and if they were inexperienced, they were easy to accidentally injure their teammates.

Unexpectedly, when he suddenly encountered this confrontation, he also picked it out again and made do it for the two of them.

According to the situation of the scene, it was obvious that the black wolf had the upper hand, and although the wheels of the carriage were stuck in the pit, he did not hurry to change his horse and ride away lightly, obviously thinking that he had a chance of winning if he dragged it down. In addition, the Chamber of Commerce itself is engaged in the scroll trade, so maybe the other party also has some means of notification, and is waiting for help at this time. Eliton analyzed.

At this time, he also remembered the talisman with sand that Zhao Xu gave him, and then said, "In this case, maybe it was this Lady Betty who surrounded and killed those black wolf riders." ”

It's just that Zhao Xu shook his head, "Betty is hopeless." She probably understood that it wouldn't be her helper, or she would be gambling on a one-in-10,000 accident. ”

After hearing this, Zheng Xinyun didn't wait for a rhetorical question, but suddenly saw the dust billowing in the distance of the original post road, raising bursts of gray mist.

An elite cavalry team of more than thirty people swept in from the direction of Frostdew Town at this time.

Compared with the ordinary cavalry company besieging Mrs. Betty, the cavalry company that attacked from afar was all heavy war horses, and the cavalrymen with matte black and heavy armor were even more majestic, and more than ten cavalry spears in the front row were pointed at each other, full of solemnity.

"Retreat." Zhao Xu instructed the coachman in front.

Harry, as the elder brother, according to the tradition of Mystra and the suppression of the church's power, with Zhao Xu and other witnesses, the final outcome is destined to be his younger brother Webster under surveillance for four or five years until Mrs. Betty's power is completely eliminated.

Next, when they watched the play again, they were a little unconventional, and they were a little suspicious of picking up the leaked melon fields and plums.

Zhao Xu, who did not get out of the way, naturally decided to evacuate.

Seeing the identity of the oncoming cavalry, and then feeling the strong smell of blood on the other party, Mrs. Betty immediately understood that she had come to pick up her mother's family, and she was afraid that she would be directly robbed and killed by this cavalry company that came from the direction of Frostdew Town.

Her eyes were red, but she hugged her child more tightly, and her eyes looked at the leader of the new cavalry, and she couldn't help but think about the way out.

Who knows, just as the carriage driver whipped his horse, drove the horses under him, and prepared to get up and leave.

With a "bang", an arrow with an eagle feather landed outside the carriage where Zhao Xu was, and the arrow head even passed through the baffle in the weak part of the carriage.

The leader of the cavalry, who was originally besieging Mrs. Betty, turned his horse's head at this time and looked at Zhao Xu for a long time, "Friend, after watching the play for so long, you still want to leave so easily without handing over something?" ”
