Chapter 44: Getting into Trouble

"I ...... It occurred to me that there seemed to be an empty carriage in that house, and if you didn't dislike it, would you be able to live there? The old man stammered as he stared at the gold coin with sparkling eyes.

"Thank you." Locke smiled and shoved the gold coins into his hand, turned his head to look in the direction of the long convoy, and asked, "Can you take me there?" ”

When the old commander heard this, he was about to speak, but the coachman who was holding the reins next to him immediately jumped out of the parking space and said repeatedly: "Of course! Mr! Of course! This way, please, I'll show you the way! ”

Looking at the two people who were gradually moving away, the old car commander checked the gold coin in his hand, picked up one and put it in his mouth and bit it, after confirming the authenticity, he was satisfied with putting it away, and after a while, the coachman who led Locke away came back, he came to the driver's seat excitedly with a gold coin in his hand and said: "That young man is really bold enough to shoot!" A gold coin! It's almost half a year's worth of my salary! ”

"Hehe, it may be a young master who ran away from home, continue to hurry."

"Oh."

The long convoy was moving forward again.

Locke, who was seated in the back of one of the carriages, was reading the magic book while sorting out the information he had just received from the coachman.

"They're really heading in the direction of Seth City." Locke said as he flipped the pages.

"But master." The elf in the ear asked, "What did the coachman say, why have the orcs in the north been moving so much lately?" ”

"Hmm......" Locke put down his book, meditated, and then picked it up again and said, "The Fenrir Empire is dominated by high-speed and mobile cavalry units, because they have a large area to defend, and the enemies in the north have orcs and centaurs who often harass ...... south."

Speaking of this, Locke put down the book again and pondered: "The reason why the earl came here must have heard rumors about the orc movement, so he specially brought people over to inspect the border, after all, Seth City is just an outpost in a sense. ”

"Oh."

The carriage that Locke was in belonged to a family of three in the convoy, who had just sold out the goods that had come in the day before yesterday, so there was this empty carriage.

Locke was bored, and would hold the leaf to his mouth and blow, which made their little daughter, a lovely girl named Rantis with two flaxen pigtails, come to play from time to time, and gradually became familiar with the road over time.

Locke finds that he seems to be quite popular with children, but he likes the type of big-breasted little sister.

At about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, a sudden noise of horses' hooves woke up Locke, who was halfway asleep.

"What's wrong?" He asked, sitting up and looking out the window.

The elf's voice echoed in his ears, "It sounds noisy outside. ”

Through the window, Locke noticed that the yellow sand carried by the hooves of the horses around him obscured his vision, but he could hear from the loud laughter that the convoy had encountered a horse thief.

Locke scanned it with biodetection, back and forth with several red figures, numbering about 20 horses.

This is a lot of force in this desert, after all, horses have high mobility and high impact power, which is not at all comparable to the group of bandits of the Boulder Gang.

"What are we going to do?" Anne's tone wasn't too nervous, there were so many civilians around, it was easy to escape.

"It depends." Locke replied calmly, according to his estimate, this gang of horse bandits did not attack directly, it should just be to intimidate the convoy, after all, there are patrols from Seth City passing by from time to time, and it is easy to be caught pulling too many goods.

They just get the money and run away.

"The owner of this team seems to be an old driver, and there aren't many mercenaries around, so it's not the first time I've seen this happen." Locke said as he rested his arms and intended to continue sleeping.

In fact, as he said, the leader of the horse bandits negotiated with the owner of the team, and the minions around him who were still shouting and screaming before were all parked on the side of the road at the moment, waiting for their boss to finish the negotiation and leave.

But at that moment, a terrible voice came.

"Mom!!"

"Please spare my child!"

"Nope! Mr! Lift up your hands! ”

"Your daughter looks so smart, Lao Tzu is a blessing to her! Let me go! ”

The carriage where the Lantis family was in front of Locke, so the voices coming from there could be heard clearly.

"Master? What are you doing here? Seeing Locke sit up directly, the elf pulled the car door down, and asked repeatedly, "You don't want to save that little girl, do you?" ”

"No, I just want to kill someone." Locke replied lightly, and when he went out, he saw a pale Rantis, being grabbed by a bandit with a turban and a vicious face, while her parents were holding the bandit's thighs and begging bitterly, and the people around him stayed in the carriage and did not dare to come out, and the whitebearded captain in the distance continued to communicate with the bandits as if he didn't hear it.

Everyone shrank their heads on the principle that more is better than less, which made the surrounding bandits even more proud.

At this time, one of the bandits, who was watching the play with his arms in his arms, noticed that the door of a car next to him was opened, and a young man wrapped in a robe came down, and immediately scolded him: "What are you doing here?!" It's none of your business here, get back to me! ”

This shout attracted the attention of everyone around her, and they all turned their heads to look, even the frightened Lantis, and when she saw that it was Locke, she immediately covered her mouth and burst into tears.

"It's ironic that the work of an angel would be done by a demon." Locke shook his head and said lightly to the bandits, "Let go of that girl." ”

“......”

"Did I hear me right?!"

"Hahahaha!!"

The people around him suddenly burst into laughter, how inadequate this guy is, he dares to come over alone to be a hero, isn't this looking for death?

Even Landis's parents looked at Locke and shook their heads in despair, their daughter is gone, and a good Samaritan is involved, hey......

"Boy! Let you see what is the price of recklessness! "One of the bandits approached viciously with a blade, and he was not afraid that the 'hero' in front of him would attack, after all, there were so many brothers watching behind him.

The bandits in front of him have the strength of the early stage of the Silver Order, although they are one level lower than Locke, but the bandits around them are all at the second-order level, once they get on the horse, then Locke will have to be slaughtered like fish on a chopping board.

The horse bandit came closer, turned around and shouted, "Today! I'll let you know what will happen to you if you are a hero in front of our desert gang! ”

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up!" The surrounding bandits urged.

Just as the bandits were laughing, they suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a group of other things around...... (To be continued)
