Luckily, while searching for rock salt and the sea, Alan and Blackie found a way, not a paved asphalt road, but a grassless road that a carriage could pass.

However, Alan is a road idiot, and although he doesn't know which way to take from that is the baron's house, because it is a road, it should lead to the street or somewhere.

"Blackie, which one do you think it is?"

"Meow ........"

"yes, I don't know, don't take it personally......"

"The next time you run away, be sure to have salt ready."

"Meow."

Next time, next time! No, don't think about terrible things, Alan quickly shook his head, he didn't want to go back. After a long walk on the road next to the forest, Alan was ready to take a break.

"Let's take a break."

"Meow."

Alan dragged his tired body to sit next to a tree, took a few sips of the water in the kettle, and then gave Xiao Hei a little to drink as well.

How long do you have to walk? Alan doesn't know the bottom of his heart, it is estimated that it is a day or two, and he can get there in three or four days, but it is impossible to reach it in seven days and eight days, right?

"Alright, let's go."

Alan felt that he was about to be attacked by drowsiness, so he quickly gathered his things and prepared to continue on his way.

"In my opinion, this road is a road where people come and go."

"Meow?"

"You see, there is not so much grass here, and the soil is very solid, so there must be a lot of people passing here, and the road here is very wide, it should be a necessary road for caravans or pedestrians."

"Meow!"

Xiao Hei let out an admirable cry.

Alan smiled, it would be nice if there were a Bangalore lizard, and while thinking so, he walked forward, when suddenly from the shade of the next tree, several men in leather armor came out, and Alan was startled by these people.

The men drew their crooked swords and looked unfriendly, and others were armed with bows and arrows, and there were about eight of them, almost all of them with thick beards, and they looked like thieves.........

"Hey, hey, boy, that's bad luck! If you want to survive here, take out all the money, tolls! ”

Alan sighed, and silently said in his heart that it was really pitiful, and he didn't know who he was talking about.

"I see, I don't resist, take the money out?"

Alan asked uncertainly, fearing that suddenly reaching into his arms would irritate the thieves.

"yes, hurry up and take it out."

Alan took out the rolled up bag from his bosom, took out a small bag from it, and just tried to loosen the string of the small bag, but was rudely taken by a thief.

"Ah, if you can, please return the little bag to me after taking the money."

"Hmph, you, what! For, why is there only 10 gold, what's going on? ”

"You guy, are you hiding? If I find you, you'll be miserable! ”

"Oh my God, this is all my possessions, I don't believe you came to check my body."

Alan spread his hands and said helplessly, he died poor, where did he get his property.

A thief came up to Allen and searched his body, looking disappointedly at the head of the thief behind him.

"Damn, head, this guy really doesn't have any money."

"Look for it, there may be something of value."

"Oh, the cat's fruit."

"That's good."

"What is this? Sharon grass? ”

A thief opened the package and poured out the saloon grass, and Alan quickly crouched down and began to pick up the saloon grass they had messed up.

"Yes, you shouldn't need this, so please give it back to me."

"I don't need anything like this."

After the thief finished speaking, he stepped on it and crushed a few pieces of saloon grass, and Alan silently looked at his feet, scolding the bastard in his heart.

"No, this guy doesn't have anything of value."

"Well, it's just a slave, you can go home."

"What are you going to do?" Alan asked uneasily, staring at the thief.

"Aren't you a slave, I can sell you to a slave trader."

"So, get some jerky or something, I'm short of salt right now, or I'm going to die." Alan sighed, and could only accept the current choice, but he can sell it for them now, so it should be okay to ask for something excessive, right?

"Oh, then eat this." As he spoke, one of the thieves happily handed a piece of jerky to Alan.

"Thank you."

Alan took the jerky and gulped it down.

"Hey, don't worry, boy, eat slowly, or you'll have diarrhea."

"Well, okay, so are you, little black."

Alan said as he tore off a small piece of jerky and handed it to Blackie.

"Meow."

"Wow, it's a strange guy to have a cat even if he's a slave who doesn't even have money."

"No, uh....."

Eren explained, and then sighed, there are really more pets in this world than nobles....

................................

"This is our base."

A thief proudly pulled Alan and pointed to a cave in front of him, which was more than ten minutes away from the road just now, and Alan had heard that this was the forest to the west of Fred's territory.

It seems that he is coming in the opposite direction of the mansion, and Alan immediately sighed, anyway, you can replenish the salt, so let's do it first.

"Your job, then, is to draw water." As he spoke, the thief took two empty barrels and placed them on the ground.

Alan nodded at the thief and said, "Yes, but I can only carry barrels by barrel." ”

"Don't worry, there's a car there, and Richie, you go with it." As he spoke, the thief pointed to a small thief nearby.

"Ah, why, head, this is a new job, and this guy is a slave." The thief, who was smaller than Alan, said dissatisfied.

"Are you a pig? How is it possible for this newcomer to know where the water is? The thief's head glared at Richie the thief.

"Oh, okay." Richie wept with a sad face.

"Also, watch this slave don't let him escape, it's your job, Richie understands?" The thief head left without giving Richie a chance to answer.

"Got it, alas, then let's go, slave." Richie shook his head helplessly.

"Hello Richie, my name is Alan."

"Well, let's go."

The two put the bucket on the wagon and let Bangalore pull it off.

"Is this the right direction? Ricky? ”

"If it's wrong, I'll tell you, don't worry."

"I'm going to get lost, I don't know the way."

"With me, you won't get lost."

Alan sighed and watched as Richie sat in his original state-class carriage, and he could only walk, but Bangalore should remember the road, so he didn't deliberately control the direction and walked slightly behind him.

"By the way, Alan, why did you become a slave?"
