Chapter 36: Cut your throat
The sun was shining, and on the earthy yellow hillside, dozens of black dots slowly walked towards a narrow path. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The current one was a strong man with one eye, who was carrying a huge iron sword, and exuded an aura that was not easy to mess with.
The dozen or so people who followed him seemed much more ordinary, but they were all full of tendons and flesh, and they were quite generous when they walked.
They walked in silence, and when they came to the vicinity of the path, they hid in the vicinity one by one under the gesture of the strong man in the lead.
This group of people is a group of bandits, famous in the neighborhood, even the nearest baron, can only rely on the knights and castles under his command to protect himself, and dare not attack at will to destroy them.
They don't hide it very closely, and if you look closely, you can definitely see the traces.
But in the process of hurrying, no one can do it to such a careful degree.
Besides, what if they are found nearby?
It's too late.
They have a lot of self-confidence, and there is no one in the vicinity who is their opponent.
"Dobson, are you sure there's going to be a fat sheep coming over today?" The one-eyed strong man leaned against a stone and shouted softly to someone not far away.
"That's right, Boss." Dobson was a very young man, and he untied his shirt, and there were more than a dozen scars interlaced on his exposed skin, "The village chief of Luo'an Village has given me that there is a nobleman's daughter and a man living with them, and they are going to come here. ”
"Very good, if they are fat enough, they will be exempted from taxes for the next month!"
The one-eyed man nodded in satisfaction.
When the nobles did not dare to come out at will, the ordinary people still had to pay taxes, but no longer to the nobles, but to these bandits with more powerful force.
Of course, at this time, I don't know how much this protection fee is called a "tax".
"There's some more information." Dopson ran to the side of the one-eyed man and said cautiously, "There is only one young man in his twenties next to the daughter of the nobleman, and the two of them have no escorts, only a carriage. Oh, by the way, they also hired a coachman in the village, and it was enough to get to the next city. ”
"What about weapons and equipment?"
The one-eyed man asked, "Is there anything else unique about you?" ”
"I haven't figured out the specifics." Dobson recalled, "They didn't see any weapons on them, but the clothes were very luxurious, huh...... It seems to be very ordinary, but it costs a lot of money, and basically as long as you like it, you will buy it directly. ”
"Ha, isn't this the usual habit of nobles?" The one-eyed strong man cut off, "Do you know their strength?" ”
"That village chief is an ordinary person, how can he be the same as your eldest brother, his eyes are so good, he can see it directly!" Dopson praised the one-eyed strong man on the side, "Besides, with your status as a middle-level silver swordsman, if you don't commit a crime, how can you get a noble status, and you still care about those small characters." ”
The corners of the one-eyed strong man's mouth hooked, and he couldn't help but snort.
That's right, if it weren't for a little trouble, with his own strength, he wouldn't be valued in any country he went to, and he would still be able to get a noble status.
Although it is said that silver is noble, most of the silver is also beginner-grade silver, and compared to middle-grade silver, there is naturally one less growth enhancement.
Large stages such as Bronze to Silver will have a high-value growth boost, and beginner to mid-tier, and medium-to-high tiers will also have a low-value growth boost.
If you apply the explanation of the game, it is that when you are promoted to a large stage, the attribute value obtained at each level increases significantly, and the small stage naturally means that the attribute value increases slightly.
The one-eyed man was a knight a long time ago, which can be considered a quasi-nobleman, but he was forced to wander the world because of the murder of his own lord. Because he violated the unspoken rules among the nobility, no one would include him in the system of the nobility, no matter what country he went to.
Even if his later strength reached a level that was difficult for many nobles to reach, such as mid-level silver, he could only continue to eat dirt outside as a bandit.
The one-eyed strong man who suffered such treatment suffered a twist in his heart, and the hatred and envy of those nobles made him target them more.
At this moment, I heard that the daughter of a nobleman was going to pass here, and the one-eyed strong man came from farther away in order to take revenge on those people!
"It's coming!"
Just when the one-eyed man was still learning information from Dobson, someone in front of him waved his hand and typed out sign language to contact this side.
"So fast?" The one-eyed man was stunned for a moment, according to the distance, this should be an hour later.
He took out a silver pocket watch and confirmed that it was not that he and the others were walking too slowly and delaying the time, but that the other party was indeed walking too fast.
"Forget it, no matter, since they are in such a hurry, then catch them early." The one-eyed man squinted at the carriage at the end of the trail, and gently turned a snake ring on his finger with his left hand.
It was because of this ring that he murdered the lord, and he has no regrets to this day.
This ring has brought him everything, even in the face of high-grade silver attacks.
Even if the two people in the carriage are silver, they are definitely not his opponents, and he is very confident in this!
The carriage looked very ordinary, and it was pulled by a horse that was not very powerful, and outside was the coachman hired from the village, his eyes purring, and he was obviously well aware of the situation here.
Especially when he found a flaw in a certain bandit who was not very well hidden, he simply ignored this and broke into the ambush circle of the robbers with the carriage.
Because the coachman could not afford to offend the bandits, he still had family and friends, and if he dared to do anything to harm the interests of the bandits, everything would be doomed to him.
So he had to do it, even if his conscience was screaming at him, alerting the people in the carriage behind.
In the ambush circle, the coachman's muscles tensed.
He was ready to hide under the carriage as soon as the bandits appeared.
No matter which side wins, it will not be of interest to a little man like him.
This is the wisdom of the little people, and it is also the survival of the little people.
But to his surprise, when he drove the carriage out of the ambush circle, and even continued to walk, none of the bandits appeared.
It's as if the bandit's trail I just saw was fake.
He looked around him, and there was silence all around, save for the creaking of the carriage.
"Strange, did they give up?" With this question in mind, the coachman hastened his whip and drove the horse and the carriage faster over the dangerous path.
But the coachman didn't know that behind him, lines of blood flowed from the hiding place of the bandits.
If you look closely, you can find that everyone here has died quietly.
The cause of death is the same: cut throat!
The one-eyed man fell to the ground, and the snake-patterned ring on his smooth finger had disappeared without a trace.
