Chapter 22: The Icy Cave

Scar felt that he was very lucky, at the end of the chaos of the elven race, he took advantage of the opportunity of the elven army and the village guard team to let down a trace of vigilance due to the arrival of winter, and led his team to quickly do two extremely beautiful votes in different villages, and took advantage of the elves did not react to quickly evacuate the crime site, and ran to the border between the human kingdom and the elven forest with his team.

Calculating the time of evacuation, Scar felt that even if the elves were alert and responded to the pursuit, they would lose their way in this heavy snowfall. What's more, as the most famous leader of the slave catcher team in the Tumont Kingdom, Scar considers himself a master when it comes to anti-tracking skills. Unless the mad elves send out trackers above the gold rank, they won't even be able to eat a single piece of dust.

Moreover, even if the general strength chases them, facing the pinnacle of the gold rank and a group of silver rank subordinates will only increase the "goods" in their team in vain.

What's more, Scar is very satisfied with the "goods" he has obtained so far. Two little girls and two girls who are about to reach adulthood will satisfy the needs of most of the domestic nobles, and Scar, as a Tumont nobleman, thinks that he can't resist the temptation of an elven slave girl. If it weren't for the outrageous price of the elf slave girl, Scar would have wanted to take one or two for himself. If you are lucky enough to sell these girls to the nobles of the major empires who have come to the kingdom to "pan for gold", then Scar can have the wealth of a medium-sized family in the Tumont Kingdom in an instant.

As it approached dawn, Scar found a sheltered, sheltered cave based on his experience for the party to rest in. After all, after running for so long in this snowy ghost weather, not to mention that Scar of this group of subordinates felt that they were almost out of breath, and their chests were hot. And in order to avoid the elf tracking team, he didn't dare to stop along the way, and he didn't even gnaw on dry food. His subordinates and his own stomach had already begun to make a revolution, but he was forced to suppress the idea of eating because of the attitude of the elves towards the slave catchers.

He lit a bonfire in the cave, afraid that the smell would spread and did not dare to barbecue the meat, so he only took turns to bake the fire next to the bonfire, took out the wine bag and drank wine to warm up his body, and then Scar asked his men to take a short rest. After all, this cave is still within the range of the Elven Forest, and it is still half a day's journey away from the human border. Scar plans to squint here and take a nap, and after recovering some energy, he plans to run to the small village on the human border with his men in one breath.

But Scar forgot one thing. This time, the advantages of my harvest are too great. Both himself and his subordinates couldn't sleep because of the excitement of the upcoming large amount of gold. Because most of the slave capture teams will not obtain more than 2 "goods" in the elven forest, not to mention that the little girl who is often protected by the adults is a very rare boutique, and the price is often several times higher than that of an adult elf female slave. Why? Because the lifespan of the elves allows this female slave to exist in the human family for a longer time!

"Boss, boss, are we developed this time? Can I also be a small landlord? ”

The youngest guy in the team couldn't sleep with excitement, and when he found out that Scar hadn't slept, he whispered to Scar.

"Haha! When you followed Uncle Ben, I said, I eat meat, you drink soup, I wear brocade robes, you wear cotton clothes. If you have mine, you will have yours! If I'm a little more lucky this time, I'll directly establish a small family, and you all follow me to become family knights, won't you enter the ranks of nobles? ”

Scar was in a very good mood, and he didn't care that the guys broke the rules, but showed these men the way forward. After all, this group of subordinates has also followed their birth and death for many years, and they are also trustworthy.

"Huh? Can I become a knight of the clan and become a nobleman? Top dog? ”

The other subordinate who pretended to be asleep and eavesdropped couldn't pretend, so he jumped up directly and asked his boss a question, and he was so excited that he didn't even control his voice.

"Don't wake up the others, be quiet! Each of you has a share, boss, I can't favor one over the other! After a good rest, we started to hurry at dawn and should be able to reach the border village in the afternoon. When the time comes, I will explain to you all kinds of information about the knights of the family. ”

Scar smiled and scolded his excited subordinates, and was not annoyed to explain it to him a little.

"Hehe, boss, don't tell jokes. Who's sleeping with you bastards? I don't believe you can sleep at such a time! ”

As the reckless man shouted, his men who were pretending to be asleep coughed one by one, scratched their heads and got up. As Scar's subordinates for several years, they all know very well how much benefit this operation can bring to them, not to mention that Scar, who was originally a nobleman, wants to raise the rank or something much easier than those civilian captains, so they have a hunch that this will happen and they can't sleep at all.

Looking at the subordinates who got up one by one, Scar smiled helplessly, and began to chat with his subordinates.

"I'm just the lowest baron now, and I don't have the right to be knighted. After this batch of goods is sold, I should be able to walk in front of the big people in the imperial capital twice, and I can get a good fief plus a high baron. Knights or something, of course, let you two goods be the ones. After becoming a knight, you are all nobles, don't be like bastards all day long! Do you want to learn the etiquette of the nobility from me in the future? ”

Regardless of the mourning and sighing, Scar, his subordinate recalled the adventures of the past few years and felt some emotion. After all, after the success of this business, they no longer have to risk their lives to do this business, and they can live a stable life.

"Thank you to His Majesty the King for his support of the slave catchers, haha. If it weren't for His Majesty's disobedience to the Elven Kingdom and his strong support for the Elven Slave Catchers and slave traders, we would not have been able to get such a good opportunity. The other empires and kingdoms are still keeping their covenants with the elves, and the slave traders and slave catchers dare not be reckless in the elven forest. Although most of the elven slaves in our kingdom are exported to these countries. A bunch of bastards who don't match what they seem! ”

After complaining about other human nations that had a certain history relative to the Tumont Kingdom, Scar shuddered and shrank back into the quilt.

"It's so cold that even the cave is starting to frost."

One of his subordinates also sneezed, and hurriedly ran to the campfire to prepare for another fire.

"Huh? Frost in the cave? ”

Scar, who noticed the surrounding situation, couldn't help but get goosebumps all over his body after discovering the frost that was beginning to spread into the cave, and his heart trembled suddenly, and a very uneasy feeling came around his heart. Even if the weather is cold, it is unusual for a leeward cave with a bonfire to frost!

The shadow flickered, and the cave was blocked by a figure covered in cold.

"If this is the case, then there is no need for not only you, but also your country!"

Drifting along with the cold air was a sentence that was cold to the bone. A word full of madness and murder!

"It turns out that it can be so cold in a cave with a campfire......"

This was Scar's last word before his consciousness fell into chaos.
