Wang Mu looked at the clouds above the lamb in horror, and whenever the lamb ate, these water vapor clouds would disperse, and on the contrary, the clouds would gather thicker and thicker until raindrops condensed.

No one has ever seen such a strange thing, but Wang Mu faintly feels that this little guy is probably not an ordinary monster, but it is not like a monster like a mud monster, the two can be said to be very different in nature, the former is extremely dangerous and evil, while the little sheep belongs to the good side.

Shire, a port outside the southern city.

The sky, which would have taken a long time to get dark, was turned into night early because of the sudden heavy rain, and at the same time, on the rough surface of the river, a mysterious sailboat slowly approached the shore.

As soon as the sailboat landed, several carriages approached in the rain in the distance, one of which was actually pulled by four horses, and on the carriage was an impenetrable cage made of incomparably hard steel.

Seeing a carriage approaching from the shore, a tall and strong minotaur jumped down from the sailboat first.

Roaring in the wind and rain, he commanded several orcs, who were also large and strong, with fierce eyes in their eyes, to unload a huge and heavy iron box from the ship in an orderly manner.

This huge iron box is about two meters wide, three meters long, and more than two meters high, and is made of extremely heavy steel.

Inside the chest, from time to time there was the roar of a beast, accompanied by the roar and the thud of the beast hitting the iron wall.

A few orcs, who looked very bad, under the command of the leading minotaur, loaded the huge iron box into the carriage that pulled the steel cage.

At this time, a young man of sixteen or seventeen, surrounded by several guards, came to the carriage with excitement on his face, looked up and down, and from time to time boldly patted on the cage.

The young man's face flushed with excitement, and he turned to an old man who gave him an umbrella and asked, "Nix, is this the birthday present you told me last time?"

The old man, who was called Knicks by the teenager, was a slightly chubby, slightly short height, and always had a kind smile on his face, but his round face had a pair of inverted triangular eyes, which not only ruined his amiable appearance, but also occasionally showed a chilling look in his eyes, which made people guess that he was not an old man who was so easy to get along with.

Nix smiled and said: "How dare I deceive the young master! This is what the master bought for you for 30,000 gold coins, although the money is not much, but the thing is a good thing, the master has a hard time for you, young master, you have to remember!"

The young man waved his hand indifferently and said, "I see, isn't it just to learn to do business, expand our (Reims) family's industry to the entire empire, and become the most influential merchant in the province of Gil County?" ”

Hearing this, Knicks smiled and didn't say anything.

Patted the cage in front of him again, and the young man continued: "But the business guidelines written by my father are very reasonable, especially the first one, as a successful businessman, the first thing is to be a selfish person, imagine if you are not selfish, how can you bear to snatch away all the money that belongs to others!"

"The young master is really talented!" said Nix with a smile on his face.

The young man's eyes were fixed on the cage, and when he heard this, he said, "Don't be a sycophant, let's go back quickly!" I can't wait to see this gift. ”

Nix didn't care at all about the young man's unreasonableness, smiled and said, "Please wait a while, young master, I'll pay the money off." ”

"Hurry up. The boy said impatiently.

Nix bowed slightly, and walked towards the minotaur with two guards.

Coming to the Minotaur, Nicks smiled at him and said, "What do you call it?" ”

The minotaur looked indifferent, and although he was shorter than the orcs behind him, his eyes were more fierce and fierce.

He stared at Nix coldly, and said in a rough voice: "You don't need to know my name, we have delivered the goods safely, you only need to pay the remaining sixteen thousand gold coins, if you still need anything, go to the secret place in the city, contact us." ”

Under the gaze of a dozen beast-like burning gazes, the smile on the Knicks's face, which never seemed to disappear, was suddenly replaced by an embarrassed look.

He whispered with some exasperation, "Give them the money." ”

Hearing this, a guard carrying a wooden box behind him immediately stepped forward and handed the wooden box to the other party.

The Minotaur took the wooden box, handed it to his subordinates to count the amount of money inside, and he casually threw something similar to a magic crystal to Nix, and said: "If something happens, this thing can control it, and I would like to warn you again, be careful, although its power is not strong, it is not something that you people can subdue." ”

Looking at the departing figure of the minotaur, Nix's eyes gradually turned cold, and then he snorted coldly.

――

On the mountain road south of the city, several carriages drove in an orderly manner in the heavy rain, and the carriage at the front was pulled by four tall and strong horses, and on the carriage was a cage made of steel.

The wind grew stronger, and the rain became more and more intense, and the raindrops the size of beans hit the carriage with a crackling sound.

The trees on both sides of the mountain road are full of shadows, and it is almost impossible to see the road ahead in the dark and rainy night.

On the carriage pulling the cage, the big man sitting on the side said worriedly to the scar-faced big man who was driving: "Ike, drive slowly, it's better for us to be careful when the rain is too heavy." ”

The scar-faced man who was driving the car smiled disapprovingly: "Abar, I think you were also a well-known figure in our group back then, why have you become so timid now? You can even be afraid of rain, you can rest assured! Ike still cherishes my life!"

Hearing what the scar-faced man said, the big man known as Abal seemed to remember his scenery back then, but then he sighed and said: "This day of licking blood from the knife edge, it seems to be beautiful but it is actually extremely dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life." ”

Saying that, he sighed and continued: "At that time, I was young and vigorous, and I felt that there was nothing in this world that I couldn't do, and I didn't feel afraid of anyone, but now that I have a wife and children, I know how to cherish it, and I will feel afraid, if it wasn't for this time to protect the young master's safety, I wouldn't have gone on this mission." ”

Ike, who was as young and vigorous as Abal back then, smiled contemptuously when he heard this, as if he was mocking Abal for getting old, and this world was no longer his!
