Barr turned and walked out of the cavern.

"Thank you, Lord Lord, for your help, now that this matter is over, it's time for us to leave." Xi Shuya stepped forward and said cautiously.

Although this time with the help of the power of the minotaur in front of them, the guild token was obtained, however, the imperial lord seemed to be very unfriendly to the adventurers, and it was difficult to guarantee that they would not cross the river and tear down the bridge, so it was better for them to leave early.

"Everyone, please." Barr said with a smile, this time he was able to have such a big gain, thanks to these adventurers in front of him.

Seeing that this minotaur lord didn't seem to intend to embarrass them, Xi Shuya's face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly led people away.

Barr looked up.

Although the ruins were a little dim, his extraordinary eyesight still allowed him to spot Asa and the others who were hurrying over, and the soldiers at the back of the team were carrying two tiger men bound by chains, who else could it be if it wasn't Zhang Tao and Li Yao.

After a while, in front of the hole.

Brush.

Asaph and the others put away their mounts and walked briskly.

"My lord, the two thieves Zhang Tao and Li Yao have been caught." Asaph turned his head and said, "Bring the man in." ”

"Hurry up."

In an uproar, the soldiers next to him dragged Zhang Tao and the two forward.

"Asaph, according to the laws of the Empire, what is the crime of gathering a crowd to rebel?" Barr spoke.

"It is a capital offense to return to your lordship." Yada cut through the railroad.

"My lord, we are all law-abiding citizens of the Empire, and we don't want to rebel." Looking at the two people singing and harmonizing in front of him, Li Yao said with a sad face.

He doesn't want to be labeled as a rebel, no matter what world he is in, the thief has no rights.

"These soldiers are inevitably too strong, and more than a thousand people were killed in dozens of seconds." Zhang Tao was a little irritable in his heart, he thought it was just about 200 aboriginal soldiers, and there were tens of thousands of people on their side, so they would definitely be captured, but he didn't expect that he had planted a big heel.

I was too careless!

According to the information he had obtained during this time, for some unknown reason, the upper echelons of the empire were very cautious in dealing with adventurers, and usually did not take any drastic measures, even if they killed the noble lords, it was not a big deal.

The empire will only catch the murderer, and he will not be okay at all.

Unexpectedly...

"That's not right."

"The head of the thief? How can this minotaur determine the identities of both of us. Zhang Tao suddenly felt that something was wrong, adventurers were different from aborigines, and the title would not be displayed on the top of their heads, how could they be recognized at a glance.

Moreover, judging from the conversation just now, this minotaur should have known the identities of the two of them in advance.

"Lord of Sea Blue... Isn't Wang Ping from Hailan Town? ”

"Did he plan it?" Zhang Tao woke up like a dream, although he and Li Yao and Wang Ping had a good relationship on the surface, they were actually competitors, and Wang Ping had every reason to use the hands of the aborigines to trap them.

"Bastard, I'm not going to give up."

Although Zhang Tao was furious, he also knew that now was not the time to think about this, and it was important to find a way to save his life.

"My lord, we people don't understand the rules and have offended you verbally, so I will definitely prepare a generous gift and come to the door to apologize." Zhang Tao said in a low voice, "The two of us are indeed law-abiding citizens, not anti-thieves. ”

"Generous gifts? What kind of gift can be thicker than the two of you. Barr said to himself.

Stared at the two for a while.

"Well, what an Imperial citizen."

Barr said calmly, "Asaph, how do you do your intelligence work, doesn't it mean that there are people here who gather to rebel, I think these two are good citizens." ”

Zhang Tao and Li Yao were relieved, and it seemed that things were still turning around.

"What are you doing?" Asaph was a little stunned for a moment, but still replied: "What the lord said is that his subordinates are derelict in their duties. ”

"Well, since you are a citizen of the Empire, then the death penalty will be forgiven." Barr said with a pleasant face.

"Master Xie."

"Master Xie."

Zhang Tao and the two were overjoyed, and their ten-year life span was saved.

"Don't rush to say thank you just yet." Barr said with a smile, "I heard someone say just now that my subordinates offended me verbally, if you are not mistaken, you two should be civilians." ”

"Asaph, according to the law, what is the crime of this commoner insulting the lord."

"Back to my lord, it is a lifetime of labor." Asaph said immediately.

"Oh, this punishment is a bit heavier, I think so, let them do thirty years of labor in Hailan Town." Barrien.

"Your Excellency is merciful." Asaph looked at the two people in front of him and said, "You two don't hurry up and thank Lord Baal." ”

Dididi, the system prompt sounded in the minds of the two.

[System prompt: You insulted the nobles, violated the laws of the empire, and will be punished with thirty years of hard labor.] 】

[Evidence Verification... Verifying... Verified to pass. 】

You have unlocked a new identity: Prisoner. All of your skills, including but not limited to power-ups and equipment add-ons, will be completely sealed, you will not be able to inflict any damage on yourself, and will be in combat at all times. 】

[You have achieved a new achievement: I defend your right to speak (thirty years).] 】

"Prisoner! Thirty years of hard labor!! ”

The two of them were stunned for an instant, if they were really caught doing thirty years of hard labor, their lives would be ruined, and with the strength of the adventurers now, it would be difficult to rescue them in a short period of time.

Thirty years? It's better to die.

"You stupid cow,... If you have the ability, you will kill Lao Tzu! Zhang Tao's heart moved, and he immediately scolded.

"Zhang Er is stunned, you..." Li Yao was shocked, now that the fate of both of them is in the hands of this minotaur lord, you don't go to please the other party and scold, isn't this adding fuel to the fire.

Zhang Tao turned his head and made a gesture of thirty and ten in his hand.

Li Yao thought about it, and immediately understood, and also scolded, greeting all the eighteen generations of Baal's ancestors.

Looking at the two of them in front of him, Barr smiled and waved his hand.

Beside him, an angry fox elite stepped forward and directly released the skill on the two: the Silence Spell.

"Woo..."

The two of them grew their mouths and couldn't say a word.

"Take these two with you, and we'll go." Baal summons his mount.

Brush, brush.

At the back of the team, two minotaur demon swordsmen held Zhang Tao and the two in their hands.

Rumbling, the procession ran towards the entrance to the ruins.

......

In the early morning, the streets are bustling with people.

Snowflakes flutter in the sky, ushering in the perfect start for the winter of 5658. The potatoes and vegetables in the farmland are still verdant, and the barren land of the East Coast has created their tenacious vitality, and even the cold cannot break them.

Barr and John stand on the wall.

"My lord, the Ice Blade Fortress has been installed, and the Alchemy Laboratory was successfully built yesterday morning." John tightened his clothes, "With the people of the Ocean Church, the temple can be upgraded to level four soon, and now just wait for the population to reach the upper limit, and the territory can be upgraded immediately." ”

"Although there are a lot of refugees joining in the past few days, the total population is only a little more than 20,000."

Barr nodded.

At this critical juncture, if the territory can be upgraded again, the level of buildings such as the city wall can continue to increase, and at that time, the defense ability of the territory will be greatly increased, and it will be more confident to deal with monster attacks.

"What happened to the two captured adventurers, did anyone come to the rescue?" Barr asked, turning his head.

These are two fat sheep.

"Well, I've been locked up in the iron mine cave, but after being locked in, these two people are like losing their souls, and they only know how to mine and eat and drink regularly every day." John wondered, the adventurer's situation was too weird.

"Oh, forcibly offline." Barr muttered that the two in the prisoner state could not go offline normally, and could only be forced offline, but their bodies would continue to stay in the world of Rand and move according to instinct.

"Offline?" John was stunned, and then said, "There are Pippen and two teams of soldiers stationed in the mine, and a total of four or five groups of people have come in the past few days, all of whom have been captured alive by us, and now they are all mining in the mine. ”

"Well, after holding them for a few days, don't let them run away." Barr said that when the two of them felt that there was no hope of escape, it was time for him to make a move.

Presumably, in exchange for freedom, the two should be willing to pay a small price.

Shout! Shout! Shout!

In the distance, three silver-gray magical energy machines were floating on the ground, hurrying towards this side, these were several Type IV magic energy transporters that had just been built after the alchemy laboratory was completed.

Behind the transporter, Bart and the goblin laborers appeared.

The situation in Blackstone Mountain is becoming more and more unstable, and many monsters have been eroded by the mysterious black aura and fallen into a state of madness, so for safety reasons, he has no choice but to let Bart use his ability to close the cave in Red Rock Valley.

The reserves of earth element crystals in the cave are much larger than imagined, and these days, the goblin laborers have mined nearly 500 units one after another, and according to the current market, the total value is more than 250,000 gold coins.

Da-da-da-da.

Lilith walked up.

"My lord, there are more and more refugees coming from the vicinity of the Blackstone Mountains these days." Lilith said, "There are even some copycat bandits among them, should we take them in." ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as you apply to join the territory, you can accept it all regardless of your identity." "In addition, some additional soldiers will be assigned to take charge of security in the territory, and those who make trouble will be expelled." ”

"I'll arrange for some of the Void Floaters to work with them."

"Yes." Lilith replied.

The herds in the Blackstone Mountains are becoming more and more restless, and the territory that has been attacked gradually increases.

Just yesterday.

Sea Blue was also attacked by the Mixed Beasts.

Fortunately, there were only forty or fifty thousand monsters attacking, most of them of low level, and they were quickly destroyed under the bombardment of magic guide cannons and elemental turrets.

There are a large number of cottages and refugee camps scattered around the Blackstone Mountains, most of which are unable to withstand the attacks of the herds, and as more and more cottages and refugee camps are slaughtered by the herds, the rest of the people have begun to flee.

The closest and most defended is of course Blackstone City.

However, every inch of land in Black Rock City is expensive, and how can these refugees and bandits have the ability to live in the city, and they have all fled to the orc territory in the north one after another, and Sea Blue Town has also received a lot these days.

According to information from the Void Floater, there are many more refugees on the way.

The rapid development of Hailan Town is too fast, and the population growth cannot keep up with the pace of development, this is an excellent opportunity, and Barr has arranged for many soldiers and adventurers to go out to receive refugees, and will not refuse to come to Hailan Town who want to join Hailan Town.

As he spoke.

Dididi, the system prompt sounds.

"Hey, I applied to create a guild, and it turns out that they got this." Barr muttered.
