Chapter 55: I'll Do It, Head
"Squeak~squeak~"
The carriage drove on the muddy road, bumping up and down, and Dias was dizzy, and his stomach was even more upside down
I want to lie on the ground and vomit quickly.
"Despicable bandits! Take advantage of people's danger! Coward! He cursed incessantly.
A robber next to the carriage heard his words and sneered: "Magician, I advise you to keep your mouth clean." Our head is not as temperamental as ours
Well, if he gets angry, he might rip out your tongue. ”
Dias felt a chill in his heart and asked, "Why didn't you kill me?" ”
"Our head wants to see you."
"You have a blackbeard on your head?" Dias asked.
"Blackbeard is your name. We all call him the Wolf King. The robber muttered under his breath.
'Wolf King? ’
Dias suddenly remembered the werewolves he had seen in the village before, those half-human, half-wolf monsters covered in black hair were devouring them wildly
The corpses of the people of Caopo Village are like beasts that gnaw on the flesh and blood of their prey.
"You're teaming up with monsters?!"
The robber shrugged: "yes, so what? ”
"You're not afraid he'll eat you?" Dias asked in shock.
The robber scoffed: "Why did you eat me?" I obeyed the Wolf King's orders and helped him run errands, and there were so many people around him to eat, especially Sunderland, and thousands more. You say, the wolf king has so many options, why eat people who are useful to him? ”
Dias felt a chill on his back when he heard this, and he asked himself that he was already a ruthless person, but compared to these robbers, it was still a small thing, and the huge Sunderland was regarded by them as a granary!
Seeing that he didn't speak, the robber shrugged his shoulders: "I know you can't accept this kind of thing at once." Actually, I did that at first. But then I figured it out. You see, those nobles, those lords, never toiled in the fields, but they were able to eat well, and they were still clothed in beautiful clothes, and they lived in large warm houses, and the peasants in their fields toiled in the fields every day, providing for the luxuries of those nobles. And once they get sick, they can only hide in a straw hut full of musty smell and wait to die. You say, what's the difference between those noble lords and monsters? ”
Dias shook his head: "No, no, monsters and people are always different!" ”
"Haha~" Another short robber next to the carriage suddenly laughed: "Dias, don't pretend." We all know all the things you did. ”
Dias was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”
The stout robber looked at the magician in the carriage with disdain: "The matter of Caopo Village. If you hadn't done it secretly, how could so many people get sick? If you hadn't designed to make the baron's mistress sick, how could the baron get rosacea, hehe~ You have done no less bad things than us. Let's not look down on anyone. ”
"You are talking nonsense~ how could I do such a thing."
"Huh~"
The short robber sneered: "If you do it, you will do it, why don't you dare to admit it?" As far as your hypocrisy is concerned, there is no difference between you and those nobles. Ade, I hate this bastard the most, why don't we cut him down? ”
The one who was called Ade was the robber who spoke first, and he shook his head: "Although this guy is a bastard, he is a magician from the capital of wisdom after all, and he has a good brain. The head is used on his ability. ”
"You're in luck." The stocky robber glanced at Dias with disdain.
The carriage traveled along the mountain road, and the narrower the road became, and the denser the trees on both sides of the road became, and gradually, the canopy covered the entire mountain road, and the environment became very cloudy, and the temperature dropped a lot.
Dias's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Continue to walk a few kilometers in the tree-lined path, a large open space appears in front, a bonfire is lit in the middle of the clearing, two earthen walls more than three meters high are piled up with burlap bags filled with sand on both sides of the entrance, after driving into the entrance, you can see more than a dozen large sheds built around the clearing, there are at least more than 100 strong men outside the house, or standing, or sitting, each of them is fully armed, with a gloomy expression and indifferent eyes, and at first glance it is the kind of ruthless character who kills people like numb.
Eventually, the carriage stopped at the campfire, and the robber Ade walked up to a strong one-eyed man, whispered a few words, and then the strong man looked at the carriage.
Dias clearly saw that the light of the bonfire shone on the strong man's single eye, reflecting a faint green light, and his heart trembled: "The oily green wolf pupil ~ is a high-level werewolf!" ’
As soon as the thought flashed, the one-eyed man walked towards the carriage, fiddling with a dagger that shimmered with cold light, and when he reached the side of the carriage, he suddenly raised his hand, and the dagger was placed on Dias's neck like lightning.
Dias clearly felt the cold edge, and he was sure that if the opponent's hand was slightly forced, the veins in his neck would be cut, and his blood would spray into the sky like a fountain.
"Dias. Romley, I'll give you a choice. The strong man's voice was low and hoarse, with an indescribable wildness.
A fine cold sweat broke out on Dias's forehead, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down involuntarily, and after a long while, he reluctantly spoke: "You...... What do you want to do? ”
The strong man chuckled in a low voice: "Follow me, or, I'll send you to hell now." ”
Dias's body trembled involuntarily, he wanted to refuse, but the cold blade on his neck made him unable to gather the courage to refuse. At the moment when he was choosing between life and death, he remembered what his mentor had said to him: "Dias, we can be mean, we can be ruthless, we can give up everything in the world, but we must not forget that we are inseparable from monsters. ”
'With the eye of wisdom, seek the strength to fight monsters from nature. This is the motto left by the original dean of Nilogaard College, Greson, when the school was founded.
'A student of Nilogaard, if he is in the company of monsters, is an unforgivable traitor, and anyone has the right to judge him for his crimes! This is an iron law that everyone on the continent agrees on.
At this moment, Dias almost despaired: 'Teacher, I understand what you are saying, but ....... But I'm still young, and I want to live. ’
Tears flowed silently, slid down his cheeks, and dripped down the cold dagger.
"My patience is limited, what do you say?" The brawny man exerted a little force, and the dagger edge almost pressed into the skin of Dias's neck.
Dias closed his eyes and said with difficulty: "I choose...... Choose....... The first way. ”
"Good!" The strong man laughed, withdrew the dagger, and turned around and waved at a robber: "Come on, put down Mr. Dias, and bring a few thick clothes." ”
The robbers did so one by one.
In a few moments, Dias was helped out of the carriage, and he was also dressed in a thick leather jacket, and a fellow brought him a bowl of hot broth.
Although he escaped, Dias was full of dejection, and he sat by the campfire, broth in his hands, and stared blankly at the fire.
The one-eyed strong man sat down beside him: "Introduce yourself, my name is Cummins, some people call me Blackbeard, and some people call me the Wolf King." ”
Dias smiled dryly: "I'm honored. ”
"Hahaha~" Blackbeard Cummins laughed: "Looking at your expression, I know that you definitely don't feel honored." But that's okay, you're definitely going to change your mind later. Oh, by the way, I heard you have a lot of research on roseacea? ”
"Hmm." Dias nodded, but the figure of a teenager flashed in his mind.
"Good." Blackbeard picked up the dagger and picked an unknown piece of meat to roast on the campfire, and said as he roasted, "You should know that I want Sunderland, but the terrain of Sunderland is so good that of course my warriors can attack it, but there will be a lot of extra damage...... So, I hope you can help me spread rosemab in the city, and the more the better. ”
Dias was stunned for a moment, subconsciously wanting to refuse, he did do some despicable things, yes, but it was to create some experimental samples, to find an antidote to rosacea, not to spread this damn disease all over the world.
However, he soon realized that he was in the current situation, and he had no room to refuse, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and a thought suddenly jumped into his mind: 'That boy, didn't you say that you had found the antidote?' Then he's the sworn enemy of this werewolf, hehe. ’
Thinking like this, Dias's mood improved a lot, he took a sip of broth, and said, "Wolf...... Wolf...... Head, there's something about Sunderland, I have to tell you. ”
Dias's change of words made Blackbeard feel good, and he took a bite of the roast meat and said with a smile, "You say." ”
"Here's the thing, there's an alchemy apprentice in the town of Sunderland named Lawson. Laplace, who stumbled upon a cure for roseacea. Therefore, it is no longer feasible to spread rosemacules in the town of Sunderland. ”
Blackbeard's movements stopped: "Healing potion? How can it be? Didn't Master Fred say that rosacea can't be cured? ”
Dias secretly rejoiced in his heart: "I thought so at first, and I questioned it, but now he has saved two people." I saw the effects with my own eyes, so I ......"
"Hmm~~ This alchemy apprentice named Lawson is really eventful." Blackbeard fell into deep thought, and after a long while, he beckoned to a man standing next to the big shed: "Ah Ran, there is a mission. ”
When Dias looked over, he saw a young man with an ordinary face, a dwarf and a thin man, walking briskly, and when he came to him, the young man whispered, "Head, what do you command?" ”
Blackbeard whispered, "Take a few clever men, infiltrate Sunderland, and find an opportunity to kill a man named Lawson. Laplace's alchemical apprentice. By the way, go to his residence to find out if there is a recipe for the potion, and if so, bring it back to me. ”
"Yes, head." Ah Ran nodded, and immediately turned around and walked towards the crowd, and after a while, he picked out 3 ordinary-looking young people, and the 4 turned around and left the forest clearing.
Blackbeard said to Dias again, "Since that kid can find a cure, he must have cured the baron's illness." The baron was sure to keep him as a treasure. With Ah Ran's few people, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the task. So, I want you to cooperate secretly. ”
Dias hated Rosen to the core, and he said without hesitation: "You just command!" ”
"It's going as planned, you're trying to spread rosespots and cause chaos in Sunderland Township. By the way, I'll also need some oil and a trebuchet to throw fireballs, you'll get those, right? ”
"I'll do it all, head."
This time, Dias shouted very smoothly.
