Chapter 22: On the Way Back III.

With a piece of linen, Ye Qi wiped the blood stains on the blade of the Tors steel sword and inserted it back into the scabbard.

After they moved away with the others and blocked the passage of the carriage, and finally tied the ropes on the hands of the remaining seven bandits to the back of the carriage, they were about to continue on the road, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the direction of Baal City.

Half loud, looking at the line of people who gradually became clear in his field of vision, the armor of the standard Baal City garrison. Ye Qi, who understood that these belated garrisons were afraid that they were going to take advantage of the fire, waved his hand at Wang Anyi and Chen Dayuan, who were on alert behind him, indicating that it was okay.

"Ye Qi?"

Looking at the young man who led the 24 soldiers and rode up to Ye Qi and the others, wearing the metal armor of an officer, this was a suspicious remark.

Wang Anyi and others all set their eyes on Ye Qi.

Well, this young man obviously knows Ye Qi.

That's right, he's Mike Langdon, Jim's kid's older brother.

Although, there is a huge difference in the appearance and figure of the two, and even the hair color is different. made Ye Qi wonder if this Mike would be the illegitimate son of old Jim. However, it is undeniable that the relationship between Jim and Mike is really good.

However, Mike, who is also a descendant of the Night's Watch, is not like most of the descendants of the Night's Watch, namely Jim. Choose the glory that your ancestors have guarded for generations, and choose to join the Night's Watch Reserve.

Instead, Mike, who chose to join the Baal City garrison, is already a squad leader in the Baal City garrison because of his current Black Iron class strength.

With 24 soldiers, his main task in peacetime is to guard the south gate of the city of Baal.

Under Jim's introduction, Ye Qi met with him a few times.

Give Ye Qi an overall image, this guy named Mike, although he looks a little young because of his age, he is a little young, but it is undeniable that he is an upright young man and is worth befriending.

Therefore, Ye Qi, who found out that the person who led the team this time was Mike, just opened his mouth and greeted: "Hi, Mike." ”

After understanding that after three days, this Kamit in front of him will officially take an oath under the sacred tree and become an official night watchman. At the same time, he also learned from his childhood companion (the night watchman) that Ye Qi's talent was very high, and Mike, who had been included in the key training object by the high-level of Black Rock Fort, couldn't help but wonder: "This guy, don't train like Jim in Black Rock Castle, what is he doing in the suburbs all day long?" However, it is strange to say that Captain Ford, who has always been a training officer of the reserves, has repeatedly let this guy out at random at the last sprint moment before taking the oath......"

Of course, although there were some doubts in his heart, Mike still greeted Ye Qi politely.

"My lord, I've found out, the guy whose upper body was almost split in half is Matthew!"

With his lieutenant, he ran back from the place where the battle was taking place in the distance, and whispered into his ear.

After getting confirmation from his adjutant, Mike just turned to Ye Qi and asked, "That, Ye Qi, is the situation." This Matthew was a habitual offender who committed seven crimes in a row near Bal City during this time. You see, can you leave them to me? ”

There is no need for Mike to say more, Ye Qi, who naturally understands what he wants to say, is doing a favor: "All the credit belongs to you, and you can also bring back the remaining seven people first." But, Mike, you also know that winter is coming, and Black Rock Castle needs to do everything possible to replenish its strength. If you can bring these seven people to Black Rock Fort after you're done, then everything will be fine. ”

"No problem, when you're done taking the oath, remember to come to Old Mark's Bar, I'll invite you to drink."

………………

In the garrison that handed over the seven people, in Mike's thanks, Ye Qi, who continued to take Wang Anyi and others on the road, soon passed through the manor area outside the south of the city, where most of the part was still in ruins.

At the release station two miles away from the city gate, Ye Qi, who returned the carriage and got the deposit back, took Wang Anyi and others and took steps towards the south gate of Bal City.

When passing through the city gate guarded by the garrison guards, at the price of two copper per person, after paying the entrance tax, Ye Qi took nine pedestrians and officially entered Bal City.

Walking through the crowded streets, looking at the streets behind him as if he first entered the city, he was absolutely unable to see these real worlds, under the real exotic atmosphere, he was a little dizzying for a while, and reminded them not to go away At the same time, Ye Qi pointed to the side of the main road into the city, which looked extremely messy, and said with a strange smell: "Do you see the alley with a lot of garbage...... If you dig deeper, it's the ghetto of Baal City. If you don't want to be stabbed in the back and robbed of your clothes and belongings for no reason, don't go in. ”

"The laws of this world are not as sound as our real world. Moreover, the security forces in the city will not enter the slums if they have nothing to do. So you can imagine it as the most chaotic place. ”

……

"The alley is home to the most famous places in the city of Baal, and the girls in it are divided into upper, middle and lower classes. For example, the medium-sized ones cost about 50 to 80 coppers at a time, which is very cheap. Of course, you can also choose to take them out and settle them on a daily basis. Rest assured, these industries are controlled by special personnel, and there will be no similar phenomenon of ripping customers. Of course, there is no AIDS in this world. As for the upper class, especially some women of different races, the price will change greatly. ”

"Okay, if you're interested, you can go in and experience it yourself. Of course, only if you have money first. It's okay to have soul crystal shards, after all, the order crystal has a ratio of exchange for this world currency, and it's also very cost-effective. ”

Listening to Ye Qi's introduction along the way, she was a girl who felt very novel like everyone, and when she heard the introduction of the former to the alley in front of her, there were several almost ** women standing, she instinctively frowned, and muttered in a low voice: "It's so detailed, as if you've been in." Hmph, shameless. ”

In this regard, Ye Qi, who didn't want to explain anything more at first, couldn't help frowning after hearing the girl's last pointful words, but he still said: "How can you, who live in an era of peace, understand the hardships of life for the weak people living in this world." After all, when you can't eat one day and are hungry for three days and three nights, who knows what you will think at that time. It's just a difference in lifestyle. At least this way, they can survive on their own in this cruel world. ”

"Whatever you say, even if that time comes, I can cut myself off!"

In the face of this ordinary-looking girl, who is not beautiful or ugly, and her name is Cheng Fanwei, it seems to be decisive, but it is actually a cowardly answer in disguise, Ye Qi, who just shook his head at this, is not wasting his tongue.

Unconsciously, Ye Qi, who led everyone to the gate of the noble cemetery, which had always been silent and uninhabited, stopped his steps, and after understanding it during this month, he had already understood whether the night watchman was a lifelong organization, or he decided to give everyone a chance to choose in advance, so he turned to the people behind him and said: "Just like I just told you, I joined the night watch army more than a month ago. It's an organization that once you join, you can't quit for life. So, now you have two options before you. The first, like me, joins the Night's Watch and gives you a good shelter in the early days of your growth. The second is that I have rented a small courtyard in the north of the city, near the docks, and those who choose not to join the Night's Watch can live there temporarily. Well, now it's time for you to make your choice. ”

At this time, Su Ruoxuan, who happened to be standing directly opposite Ye Qi, heard Ye Qi say this, she was usually most afraid of "making a choice", and she couldn't help but fall into a state of helplessness for a while.

Discover the "me" in front of you...... I...... I ...... for a long time, and I couldn't say why, and the girl who was subconsciously pulling the clothes on her body with both hands.

Ye Qi, who was very speechless about this, could only open his mouth and propose: "You can wait for others to decide before making a decision." ”

After half a ring, looking at the other people around him who didn't mean to speak, Qian Yongxing, who had already made a decision in his heart, finally said: "I think, it's better to see the situation first." ”

Although, Qian Yongxing didn't say it to death. However, Ye Qi, who obviously understood what he meant, turned his gaze to Song Lixing, who was on the far left, and asked, "What about you?" ”

"I ...... Like Yongxing, I also think that we will see the situation first. ”

Knowing that on the way into the city just now, Qian Yongxing kept pulling Song Lixing at the end of the line and said something Ye Qi, but he didn't say anything more. After all, this is Song Lixing's own choice. As for, in the end, whether he will be sold by Qian Yongxing in a moment of crisis.

Seriously, Ye Qi really doesn't care about this.

However, with the joint decision of Qian Yongxing and Song Lixing.

Perhaps under the influence of the herd mentality, five of the remaining seven people made the same decision as them.

Looking at the last left, Wang Anyi and Chen Dayuan, who seemed to have reached some kind of consensus on the way here, Ye Qi asked, "What about you?" ”

"Can you take us to the place where we live first?"

In the face of Wang Anyi's rhetorical question, he nodded at this, and motioned for Ye Qi to keep up, just to continue to take a step.

More than ten minutes later, the ten people came to the dock area in the north of the city of Baal, which was as lively as the main road in the south of the city.

Along the way, I met many sailors who were shirtless and whistling at themselves and others.

made the four female compatriots in the team a little uneasy.

And apparently seeing this, Ye Qi, who led them into an alley and walked in front, said to Zhao Renying, who had just been focused on by the sailors, had a sweet appearance, and a hot figure: "Don't worry, those sailors will only talk about it at most." After all, among the nations of the Terrans, women are a felony. These sailors, who run boats on the Attali River, have a good income and are not stupid under normal circumstances. ”

Along the way, Zhao Renying, who had enough time to think and had figured out that in such a strange foreign land, he could only survive by relying on Ye Qi, and under Ye Qi's seemingly kind comfort, he asked rhetorically: "What if, if it is not normal, such as when you are drunk?" Ye Qi, I really don't understand, why do you give us the opportunity to choose when we are still in ignorance of this world? Do you want us to suffer some hardships and experience for ourselves how dangerous the world is, and then go to you, beg you? If that's the case, I don't think so. After all, along the way, we have seen a lot of things that we would not even dare to imagine. You could just take us to join the Night's Watch, wouldn't you? ”
