Not far from the town, near a wheat field, a dozen men with masks surrounded the carriage with swords.

The two coachmen screamed in alarm, lay down under the carriage and trembled and did not dare to move, and kept shouting words of mercy.

Link's brow furrowed, and hearing such shouts in his sleep made him a little uneasy.

Alice stroked Link's brow in distress, then got up and walked out of the carriage.

"Stop screaming." Alice kicked one of the happiest coachmen on the heel, and without paying attention to his trembling appearance, she said directly to the dozen or so robbers who surrounded her: "You have disturbed the rest of your master, how can you atone for your sins?" ”

"Atonement?"

When the leading robber heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, looked left and right at his companions, and then at Alice's delicate and beautiful face, and his heart rose: "Beauty, if you want me to apologize, it's very simple, go back with me, and apologize to you every day!" ”

"That's right, it's too short for the boss to apologize to you!"

A strange cry rang out in the back, eliciting unbridled laughter from the robbers.

"As I said, you disturbed my master's rest."

Alice sighed, "Maybe I shouldn't have wasted my time talking so much to you scum." ”

With that, she waved her hand, and all the robbers' wanton laughter almost stopped at the same time, and a dagger stuck straight in their throats, and then faded away.

Bang bang, the corpses fell to the ground one by one, and Alice turned her head to look at the groom who stopped trembling and looked at her dumbfounded: "Let's go, don't delay the time." ”

Some ordinary people who are not even apprentices. Dare to rob here unscrupulously, is the security in the neighborhood so bad? Alice got into the carriage. The carriage began to move slowly again.

Although they were driving the carriage, the two coachmen on the frame were shivering there all the time.

Originally, they thought the robbers were scary guys. As a result, the people behind are the real horrors.

A maid came out and killed a dozen people with a wave of her hand!

Could it be that the young man was a nobleman?

Link opened his eyes and saw Alice walk in, "Killed them all?" ”

"Well, they're all ordinary people, and they don't have any ability to fight back."

Alice said indifferently.

In this world, of course, there are many powerful individuals, but most of them are still ordinary people, and most of them can reach the apprentice level through training, which is already very remarkable, and those who become high-level apprentices are already rare.

A small town with more than 1,000 people may have one professional in a generation. There are only a dozen high-level apprentices outside, which costs a lot of money to train.

"But a few of them are a little familiar."

Alice's words made Link look at her suspiciously, and she shrugged her shoulders, "It seems that there are two guards in that town, and I seem to have seen them wearing guard clothes when I went in." ”

"The town's guards?"

Link frowned, "That's how these guards of the noble realm are?" ”

Link's rhetorical question was not answered, after all, the people here came with him, and they all knew about the world about the same.

The only possible sources of information were the two coachmen outside, but if you asked so directly. It may cause unnecessary trouble.

When you think about it, it seems that everyone has been killed, and there is no point in continuing to dwell on this.

So the carriage and horses were quiet for a while.

But Link apparently thought a little too easy, and in the short time of seven or eight hours on the road of the day. Attacked by three groups of bandits.

"This is not normal, in just one day, I have encountered three batches of robberies. Is someone eyeing us? ”

Link's expression became serious, there were too many robberies like this. It's not normal.

And most of the people who came were ordinary people, and a small number were apprentice-level knight squires. Not even a single high-level apprentice has ever appeared.

"It's very strange, indeed."

Alice pondered for a moment, "I'll ask the two coachmen, they don't seem too surprised, and might know a little bit about such a situation." ”

In such a situation, you may not care about exposing yourself at all, and if you continue like this, you may run into big trouble.

After a few minutes of chatting, Alice returned to Link's side.

"It's very simple, it's because of the orc incident a month ago."

Alice shook her head slightly, "At that time, the orcs were rampant in this area, conquered many places, killed many people, and made this area very bad and banditry. ”

"The power of the nobles has also suffered a great blow, especially in the small towns and cities, and the guards have suffered heavy casualties."

"In order to restore law and order as soon as possible, the recruitment of guards in small towns and cities has lowered a lot of standards."

In just a few words, Link knew something about the same thing from Alice's mouth.

It was simply passed by soldiers and bandits, which led to the original order being broken, and many people could not continue to live, and began to occupy the mountains as kings and rob others to live.

Then the nobles' territories were also hit hard, and in the end, there were some unclean fellows among the newly recruited guards, who were just doing all kinds of immoral things with outsiders.

This kind of thing has been seen a lot in history, and Link is not surprised at all.

"Are there any problems with the two coachmen?"

Link snorted angrily outside.

"Nope." Alice shook her head, "It's just that there is an unspoken rule in this area, robbing doesn't kill the driver, and waiting for them to continue to send people over." ”

"Huh." Link sneered, he didn't bother with them, he still needed these coachmen to drive the carriage.

The breeze blew, rolling up the curtain at the door, and the bloodied faces of the two coachmen were visible.

Alice raised her head slightly, and added nonchalantly, "It's just a little lesson." ”

If you don't report it, it's already a very merciful thing to do.

However, the two coachmen were also depressed, after all, these are common sense, how can anyone still be arrogant and buy a carriage and go directly, the coachman thinks that Link they know, so they didn't remind him, and he was beaten up like this.

It was getting dark, and the coachman outside cautiously asked if he needed to rest for a while, there was nothing to do, and he could be rotated, but Marco was too tired and needed to rest.

Link nodded in agreement, and in an instant, someone was boiling water to build a camp - mainly two coachmen, and Alice began to look around to see if there was any danger.

The twins have been by Link's side, close to him for protection.

Link wandered around, and it wasn't long before he returned to the campfire that was already burning and began to wait for the food to be grilled.

At this moment, there was a faint shouting sound from a distance, and a firework that suddenly exploded in midair.

It's a distress signal!

"Alice!"

Link screamed, Alice nodded, and without saying anything more, her body flickered and vanished.

Ten seconds later, Alice returned to Link's side: "It's a robbery." ”

It was an acquaintance who was robbed. (To be continued.) )
