Chapter 75: Tocta's Melancholy
"Report to Lord Yu, we've run into a robbery!"
Millie reported the excitement on her face when she encountered the robbery, and it seemed that this escaped girl not only had a lively personality, but also seemed to be a violent maniac.
Sui Yu couldn't help but feel worried about the robbers who dared to rob the caravan at this time, hoping that when the fight broke out in a while, Millie would be able to leave them with a whole corpse!
Of course, Sui Yu was more interested in wanting to see with his own eyes what the robbers in this world looked like than the question of whether to keep the whole corpse.
According to previous intelligence analysis, the bandit group in this vicinity is not very strong (if it is strong, it will not be chased around like a dog by the city guards and mercenary groups).
At the same time, according to the information obtained from the investigation of the war concubines, although there are some strongmen in the thieves group in the entire Talaya Kingdom, most of them are groups composed of ordinary people and the most silver-level professionals - gold-level professionals have a relatively prominent status in the Talaya Kingdom, even if they commit a crime, they can also obtain a certain legal pardon, and there is no need to be a robber at all, especially in this area of the caravan There is no oil and water, and there are no masters willing to engage in the cause of robbing houses and houses in this vicinity.
At this time, Sui Yu was very relaxed, because after comparing his strength with the strength of ordinary mercenaries through this period of time, Sui Yu already had a general understanding of the positioning of his own strength. Therefore, after he heard that he had been robbed, instead of being nervous and afraid, he developed a mentality of watching the excitement.
Sui Yu really wanted to see what kind of procedure the robbers of this world were robbing.
With the mentality of watching the excitement, Sui Yu walked out of the carriage, and looked at it, the caravan was on the road in the middle of several small hills at this time, and there was indeed a circle of people wearing various colors of leather armor around it. Armed with swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, and eighteen weapons, almost all of them are almost all assembled.
However, what made Sui Yu a little confused was that the leather armor on the members of the thieves group seemed to be just ordinary beast skins and did not seem to have been treated with enhanced defense, not so much leather armor as leather clothes (it's really hard for these dedicated members of the thieves group, and they are not afraid of covering up prickly heat when they are still wearing leather clothes on hot days!). )。
Moreover, the weapons in the hands of these people are also very strange. Most of these weapons are not designed to slash people.
At least the axes in there were definitely axes used to chop wood, because the guy with the axe had freshly chopped firewood behind him!
At the same time, those forks and all that seem to be used to shovel grass -- the forks are all blades of grass at the root.
This looks like a group of thieves, it feels like a group of peasant uncles who have just come out of the field are watching in a circle!
Of course, standing in the middle of the road, a few people wearing tall donkeys (horses are controlled products in the Talaya Kingdom, not everyone can be allowed to breed) wearing metal armor seems to have some skills, especially when Sui Yu saw that there were several archers behind a few big trees on the side of the road in front of him, Sui Yu was able to bring in the role, and finally realized that these people in front of him seemed to be really a group of thieves!
Seeing Sui Yu and them get out of the carriage, Tokta, who had just organized people for a simple defense, came to Sui Yu's side. At this time, Tokta was no longer hanging on his arms, not because his recovery power was comparable to Xiaoqiang, but because after Sui Yu accepted his employment assignment, he asked Philomena to perform healing techniques to help Tokta heal his fractures.
In fact, fractures are not easy to treat in this world with magic healing, because rashly using healing magic that enhances cell division is likely to cause fractures to grow into deformities, and only some light sacrifices with rich experience have the experience and ability to treat fracture diseases.
However, Philomena's healing technique may be derived from "Chaos World", so her healing technique seems to have an effect similar to that of the law, that is, no matter what the injury, as long as the healing magic is used, as long as the magic is enough. Eventually, the patient will return to their best condition.
At this time, after noticing Sui Yu's gaze at the surrounding bandits with interest. Tokta took the initiative to introduce to Sui Yu: "Actually, these mountain bandits are all villagers from some nearby villages. ”
"Villagers?" Only then did Sui Yu understand why the equipment of these bandits was so "advanced", and he felt that many weapons were dual-purpose - they were usually used for farm work, and when they encountered caravans passing by, they would make temporary cameo appearances in weapons and equipment.
Then Sui Yu reacted and asked Tokta with a shocked face: "What are you talking about?" These bandits are actually villagers in the neighborhood?! ”
"Weird, isn't it?" Tokta smiled wryly and explained, "Because the villages around here are relatively poor, there is basically nothing left after paying taxes every year. So they relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water, and these villagers approached this trade route and organized themselves to pretend to be a group of thieves to rob the caravan passing by, in fact, the caravan running this line knew what was going on! ”
Okay. Sui Yu had heard in the original world that some rural areas made money by blocking tolls or jointly defrauding drivers of passing vehicles because the village was close to the traffic artery, and there were even some immoral places by throwing nails on the road and then carrying out fair extortion in the name of rescue after the unlucky driver was recruited.
But I didn't expect to see such a friendly scene in another world, it seems that no matter where you are, the poor mountains and bad waters are easy to "mess with the people......
It's just that the technology content of these villagers in the other world is too low. Unexpectedly, he directly used such a crude method of robbing the road disguised as a thief group, didn't he see through it by the passing caravans?
I have to admit that fortunately, Sui Yu did not become the head of a village after crossing over, otherwise with Sui Yu's chaotic knowledge accumulated because he lived in an information explosion world since he was a child, the village led by Sui Yu can definitely move towards the road of prosperity and prosperity in a short period of time, of course, the premise is not to be destroyed by someone because of careless death!
Accidentally digressed, at this time, Sui Yu asked Tokta with some curiosity: "Since you all know that this thief group is disguised by the surrounding villagers, why didn't you report to the lord of this place and let him send troops to exterminate it?" ”
Sui Yu had long known that the security of the Black Territory was quite good, because the Black family who managed this territory had been working hard to maintain law and order in the territory. At least from the wanted notices posted on the walls of the Mercenary Guild for several bandit groups, it is not difficult to see that the bandit group should belong to the street rats that everyone shouts and beats in Black!
"Where is it so simple?" Tokta shook his head and said to Sui Yu, "It's true that the Black family will not tolerate a bandit group, but this so-called thief group is usually a group of honest farmers, and because the surrounding villages are involved. In addition, they are also very active in paying taxes, so even the lords have to turn a blind eye. ”
"Oh! The otherworldly version of the law is not to blame the public! Sui Yu nodded slightly, and understood why no one cared about these guys who blocked the road and robbed the caravan.
"Huh? What do you say? Tokta didn't understand what Sui Yu was saying.
"Nothing!" Sui Yu waved his hand and said to Tokta: "If you don't understand, you can understand the spirit!" But what now? Kill these guys? ”
Hearing Sui Yu say such bloody words so easily, Tokta's cold sweat brushed down, and he only then remembered how strong the combat power of Sui Yu's group was, and at the same time, he also remembered that at this time, Sui Yu's identity was the guard of the caravan!
"Don't! You don't have to do it! Tokta hurriedly stopped Sui Yu, who seemed to be about to give the order to kill, and explained, "These villagers just want to make extra money." Even in these years of development, they have also worked out a more reasonable fee standard, we only need to spend a little money to go smoothly, there is really no need to fight and kill! ”
Hearing this, Sui Yu snapped his fingers and said to Tokta: "OK! You're the boss, you're in charge! ”
Maybe it was Sui Yu's snapping fingers that hit too loudly, which instantly attracted the attention of the people around him, especially the one who was in the middle of the road, wearing the most metal rope armor, and at first glance, he was the leader of the thief group, so he almost held a sign in his hand with the words "I am the leader, welcome to capture the thief and capture the king first", highlighting his identity and looking very bad, and the guy who looked very bad immediately shouted to Sui Yu (take a breath first): "That girl! Are you the leader of this caravan?! ”
Sui Yu, who was talking and laughing with Tokta, heard that a tic-tac-toe shaped green tendon burst out on his forehead, because with his sixth sense that belonged to a man, he subconsciously judged that the guy who was doing death was talking about him!
Of course. Without investigation, there is no right to speak, in order to prevent accidental injury to a good person, Sui Yu still smiled and turned his head to the bandit leader and said, "Are you talking to me?" ”
"Nonsense! Of course I'm talking to you! At first glance, you are the leader of this caravan, who else will you talk to if you don't talk to you?! ”
After listening to the bandit leader's words, Sui Yu glanced at Tokta, who had an embarrassed expression, and asked the bandit leader a little strangely: "How do you judge that I am the leader of this caravan?" In fact, this person next to me is the boss, okay! ”
Rolling his eyes, the bandit leader shouted to Sui Yu with a mocking face: "Are you really a fool of all countrymen?" You know you're a nobleman by looking at the armor you're wearing! This kind of flashy thing is what you nobles like! ”
"Flashy?!" Sui Yu, whose face was blue because he was constantly called a girl, looked down at the armor on his body, which did not have a trace even if he was beaten by the demon wolf, and wondered why this artifact-level armor on his body belonged to the flashy category.
As if he wanted to show off his knowledge in front of the "beauty", the bandit leader pointed at Sui Yu's armor and said loudly: "Your armor is actually decorated with materials such as glass in the lower abdomen, shoulder pads and other parts. If I were an enemy, I would have targeted these areas and attacked! Even if the glass is reinforced with alchemy, if a silver-tier warrior strikes with all his might. You can easily break these flashy, but actually fragile things! ”
"A full blow from a silver-tier warrior?" Sui Yu resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and decided not to bother with the bandit leader in front of him, intending to let Tokta come out.
Sui Yu felt that he really didn't have any common language with this guy, you must know that the attack of a demon wolf could be compared to the full force of a silver-level warrior, and this kind of attack Sui Yu used this armor to block I don't know how much!
However, although Sui Yu signaled to Tokta to be responsible for negotiating with the robbers, the bandit leader did not admit it. He directly interrupted what Tokta wanted to say, and said to Sui Yu with an arrogant face: "Girl! Don't bother the two masters, obviously you can call the shots. Then don't bother to let your subordinates do it for you! I'll just tell you directly! ”
Sui Yu raised his hand to interrupt the bandit leader's words, and said to the bandit leader a little frantically: "Why do you have to think that I am the leader of this caravan? Although I admit that I am handsome and talented, you can't assume that I am the leader of the caravan, right? ”
"Handsome and chic? ! Your literature class won't be taught by a physical fitness teacher, will you?! The bandit leader said to Sui Yu with a mocking face: "Okay, don't pretend!" Who doesn't know that the Talaya Kingdom has recently canceled the titles and official positions of some hereditary nobles, so you must be one of those unlucky nobles, right? Speaking of which, you nobles are trouble, looking down on merchants and wanting to make money. Obviously, they all ran with the caravan. Do you have to launch a dog-legged spokesperson, are you tired?! ”
Only then did Sui Yu discover that it seemed that this bandit leader was unexpectedly very cultured, and seemed to be very knowledgeable (although he obviously had a great misunderstanding of Sui Yu's identity in various senses because of his extensive knowledge).
So Sui Yu subconsciously said to the bandit leader in a somewhat mocking tone: "I really can't see it, your insight as the leader of the thief group is really very good!" ”
The bandit leader didn't wait for anything to say. Listening to Sui Yu's "sigh", an old man with gray hair standing near the bandit leader interjected proudly: "That's right, little Bart in our village has been a servant of the master master for a long time, so don't try to deceive him!" ”
Well, Sui Yu finally understood how the villagers of the surrounding villages formed a thief group to rob the passing merchants......
Then Sui Yu suddenly thought of a question, that is, since this guy named Bart had been a mage's follower, why didn't he find out that there was a large group of mages in the team here?
Yes, Millie and the other female mages had been following the carriage all the time. Coupled with the only carriage in the caravan, it was impossible for this Bart not to pay attention to the carriage while noticing the warriors beside the carriage.
And the strength of the magician is very famous in this world, what kind of courage does he, a group of thieves composed of villagers, have to rob a caravan with several magicians accompanying him?
If you don't understand, Sui Yu, who was too lazy to break his gender with the robbers, simply asked Bart a little strangely: "Since you have stayed with a mage, then you should know what a mage is like, right?" So why are you robbing our caravan guarded by mages? Aren't you afraid that we will destroy you with magic? ”
"Cut! Don't think I haven't seen a magic robe! Where in the world is there such a fancy robe as fancy as that? The magic robes on those magicians are all very solemn and can give people a sense of mystery and awe, okay! Don't think that having some people wear magic robes-style clothes will scare us off! And how is it possible for one caravan to accompany so many magicians?! Speaking of this, Bart raised a middle finger at Sui Yu with a look of disdain and said at the same time: "Want to be blinded by me? No way! If you dare to be clever, I'll let you stay tonight to be happy with your brothers! ”
All right. Sui Yu understood that although Bart had been a junior brother with a magician for a while. But since this guy doesn't seem to know how to use the power of will to detect magic fluctuations, he can only tell if a magician can only distinguish by magic robes.
The design concept of the magic robes on the war queens naturally comes from the game "Chaos World", and the equipment in the game is naturally more gorgeous than the other, especially at this time, the appearance of the magic robes worn by the war queens is either in the style of a cheongsam, or the appearance resembles a windbreaker or a gothic long skirt, so in Bart's opinion. The battle queens are not wearing magic robes at all, but ordinary aristocratic services, and at the same time, the war queens who are wearing aristocratic services are naturally not magicians, but ordinary maids......
Well, at least the last guess Bart guessed correctly. Because strictly speaking, the war concubines are indeed Sui Yu's maids. It's just that the combat effectiveness is a little exceeded!
Just as Sui Yu summed up why Bart was wrong, there was a terrible scream from Bart's side.
It turned out that when Bart stretched out his middle finger to Sui Yu and threatened to let Sui Yu sleep, the hard-suffering war queens finally couldn't help it, so Millie directly raised her hand and shot a wind blade, and the wind blade directly cut off Barth's outstretched middle finger.
At this moment, Bart rolled from the donkey and fell to the ground, covering the wounds of his fingers, rolling all over the ground and howling!
"Oops!" Tocta's face was green at the time! He had always been worried that Sui Yu's gang would casually take action and cause catastrophic consequences, but he didn't expect that Bart would never let him speak out, so the tragedy really happened!
Bang! An explosion rang out, and several archers hiding behind the tree rolled and were blown out from behind the tree. It's not safe to hide behind a tree under Serena's Flame Burst technique, because Flame Burst will explode!
Whoosh! The ice arrow was accurately shot at the nearest "bandits", easily taking the lives of the villagers who were the most threatening to the caravan because of their high position! At the same time, Judy slammed the ground with her tendritic wand, and a half-meter-high stone wall immediately rose around the caravan, separating the caravan from the thieves and villagers.
Seeing this posture, Bart stopped wailing, let alone rolling, he looked at the scene of magic flying in front of him with a pale face at this time, and he even forgot the pain!
This is a big problem!
Maybe it's troublesome for Bart and other villagers who pretend to be thieves and rob merchants, but Sui Yu doesn't feel troublesome at all!
The looming and mysterious Fanny keeps appearing behind some of the robber villagers who try to resist, taking their lives one after another, and Kanami keeps throwing shuriken or crossbows to take the lives of one robber villager after another.
Even when these robber villagers wanted to escape, Millie even rose into the sky, using her flying skills to float in mid-air and directly from the air to cast a large-area attack magic on the rogue villagers running around the mountain!
Wind Blade Flurry is actually just releasing a lot of wind blades in an instant, and due to the balance mechanism of the game world, the magic power of this move with a very large attack range is not very outstanding (at least in the game world, this move will kill monsters below level 10, but any monster with a little magic resistance can charge against this move), but in the face of these robber villagers who are running for their lives with their backs to Millie, its lethality is extremely strong!
At this point, the thieves and villagers fell to the ground like wheat harvesters, and soon the blood stained the nearby hillside into a Shura field!
Sui Yu forcefully pulled out the hidden sword spear that pierced into the body of the bandit leader Bart, and then threw a spear flower, and by the way, shook off the blood on the short spear, and at the same time turned his head to Tokta and said, "It's done!" The bandits have been wiped out! ”
"Annihilation?" Tokta nodded with a wry smile and muttered, "It's all gone!" But that's where the trouble comes in! ”
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Tokta's face, and Sui Yu found that this man's face was full of melancholy and vicissitudes at this time, which made Sui Yu secretly think: "Could it be that I did something wrong?" (To be continued.) )
