Chapter 238: Turning Fate

"I just want to teach them a lesson, but I don't want their lives!" Chang Le glared at Joffrey angrily, and after the old man and the girl on the side were shocked for a while, they immediately ran over to thank Chang Le and the others.

When Chang Le and the others asked the reason, the old man and the girl sighed and told the reason for today's time.

The Kingdom of Saint Laurent and the Kingdom of Kushan can be said to be old enemies, the two countries are geographically connected, and the border has been at war for a long time, and the Roland Promenade is mainly used to resist the attack of the Kingdom of Kushan.

Years of conquest have led to the destruction of villages near Roland City, and the land is extremely barren, and the people here live in great poverty, and it is said that in bad years, people will starve to death.

I thought that such days would be over with gritted teeth, but I didn't expect that after the arrival of the new general of the border three years ago, what was even more unexpected was that the new official took office with three fires, and after the general of the border area arrived, he immediately embezzled military salaries, paid taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and at the same time wantonly arrested strong men to serve in the name of protecting the people, and if they did not want to serve, they needed to pay a large amount of money.

Under his rampant conquest, not only the little wealth of the nearby village was wiped out, but also most of the young people in the village died on the battlefield, and many people with a way had already taken refuge in Roland City to join their relatives.

The old man in front of him just couldn't pay the military tax, and wanted to try his luck and take his granddaughter to Roland City to beg for a living, but he didn't expect to be discovered unfortunately, these cavalry actually caught up, if it wasn't for the luck of meeting Chang Le and his party, I'm afraid the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Chang Le and Wendini looked at each other after hearing this, they couldn't imagine that such a thing would happen in this border place.

Although Chang Le was not very good, he was also born in a wealthy town in the south of the Yangtze River, and what he saw since he was a child was neighboring harmony, although the elf tribe where Wendini lived lived a little harder, but the elf people were also very simple, and there would be no such thing as a high elf bullying a low-level elf.

However, Joffrey, as if he was used to this kind of thing, said calmly to Changle and Wendiny: "You don't need to make such a fuss, this kind of thing is very common on the borders of various kingdoms. ”

"Since you're also going to Roland City, why don't you go with us, and take care of it, by the way, my name is Changle, this is my elf Wentini, and the guy with a dead face next to me is called Joffrey." Chang Le said with a smile.

"Hmph." Joffrey snorted coldly, obviously dissatisfied with Chang Le, and slowly raised one hand, and the dim light on the original dark scepter slowly lit up again.

"Don't don't, everyone is a friend, there is something to say, two, this handsome and heroic man next to me, everyone loves flowers and chrysanthemums are in full bloom is called Joffrey, hehe, my idol." Chang Le immediately changed his words, but silently added in his heart: "Hmph, when I recover my true qi, look at how I abuse you, it's amazing to hold a broken stick!" ”

"You seem to be dissatisfied with me?" Joffrey seemed to see through Chang Le's thoughts, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said with a smile, but his smile made Chang Le feel a chill down his back for no reason.

"No, no, no, I'm telling the truth, hehehe." Chang Le immediately shook his head in denial.

Joffrey rolled his eyes and just said lightly, "Let's go." "Bento first walked in the direction of Roland City.

Chang Le followed behind him, looked at the man who was as dark as a shadow, and secretly said to Wentini: "Wentini, you have to stay away from this guy in the future, I see those rumors...... Well, it's certainly slanderous to say that part of me, but what about that part of Joe River...... The dark mage is really evil, alas, not easy to get along with, not easy to get along with! ”

Wentini nodded approvingly, and said softly, "yes, Joffrey is a little ...... sometimes. Fierce look. ”

"It's not just fierce, it's just murderous without blinking!" Chang Le sighed and shook his head, if Joffrey didn't blink an eye at outsiders, it would be fine, but after all, everyone is now their own people, they are companions, they are so fierce, where can I put my face, I don't want to lose face!

As if sensing something, Joffrey suddenly slowed down, turned around slowly, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and smiled at Chang Le: "Huh? What are you talking about when you're walking so slowly? ”

"Ahaha, naturally it's a tribute to your greatness!" Chang Le scratched his head in embarrassment, and immediately quickened his pace to catch up with Joffrey.

After walking for about half a day, Chang Le and his party came to a village next door, which was already very close to Roland City, and through this village, they could reach the Roland Corridor.

"Gollum."

"What sound?" Joffrey asked, turning around.

"Uh...... That, I'm a little hungry. Chang Le held his stomach and smiled bitterly.

Anyway, he also went through a big battle just now, although he didn't consume any true qi, but at least he consumed a lot of physical strength, plus he had been patronizing for half a day, and he couldn't take care of eating, so he was already hungry at this time.

Not only Chang Le, but the old man and the girl who accompanied Wentini were all languid at this time, tired and hungry, and Joffrey was alone, as if he had not been affected by anything, and still looked calm.

This made Chang Le silently doubt in his heart, could it be that the dark mage really relied on sucking people's souls? After a big battle and a long journey, why don't you know that you are hungry!

"Well, there happens to be a village here, let's take a break here for a while, and then we'll be on our way later." Joffrey saw that everyone was not in a good state, so he reluctantly nodded.

"Hehe, there's a small house in front, I'm so handsome, let me go to the fate!" Chang Le laughed, of course what he thought in his heart was that Lao Tzu would go to the fate, if there was anything delicious, he could eat a few bites first, hehe.

"Knock knock."

"Anyone?"

Chang Le trotted to the door of the house and knocked lightly on the door.

"Knock knock."

"Anyone?"

Chang Le raised his voice and shouted again, seeing that no one answered, he pushed the door open, stretched out his head and looked inside, the interior was extremely plainly decorated, except for the table and chairs, a wooden bed, and a wooden cabinet, there was no other furniture.

Chang Le walked in and muttered, "Alas, there is really no one, it seems that there is no food to eat." ”

He sighed and shook his head, intending to turn away.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a slight tremor from a wooden cabinet against the wall, as if someone was hiding inside.
