Chapter Ninety-Nine: Now the Robbery Begins
The matter was settled, and Lin Li hired Sheen for three months with a monthly salary of five thousand gold coins.
At dawn the next day, Sheen arrived at the Emerald Tower, and sat down in the hall honestly, waiting for the Wizard Ferre to get up. His swarthy face was full of excited smiles, although he failed to become the entourage of the Ferre Magus as he wished, but the three months of employment was enough to make the honest young man overjoyed, that was the most powerful character in Garros, and he was also the lifesaver of his own family, for this simple and honest young man, whether it was an entourage or a hire, as long as he could follow the Ferrey Magister, it was enough to make him so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night.
The first two days were really too much consumption, and after sending off Sheehan's father and son yesterday, Lin Li simply fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed, and this sleep was until today's three poles.
By the time he came out of the bedroom in a daze, the carriage had been waiting outside the Emerald Tower for a long time, and there were many people in the guild hall, except for those who were far away in the Demon Slayer Valley, the magicians of the whole guild had almost arrived, and Sheen was sitting in a corner from afar, looking at these magical magicians with curious eyes.
"You kid can be regarded as getting up...... "When he came out of the pharmacy yesterday, Lin Li's face was really scary, and Gray was so worried that he didn't sleep well all night, for fear that something would happen to this kid, until this morning, seeing that his face had returned to its previous ruddyness, the old man was secretly relieved.
"It's all said it's nothing......"
"Have you brought everything with you? Bring more clothes or something, the weather in that place is cold, in case you get a cold and fever, it's not cost-effective, by the way, you must remember to put away your crystal card, don't lose it, the thieves in that place don't belong to Daphne, and you don't have to come back if you lose it. Today's Gray seems to be particularly nagging, but listening to Lin Li's ears, he feels indescribably warm.
"I know, I know, the older I get, the more verbose I become......"
"You little bastard, you really don't know what to do!" Gray An's eyes fell on Sheen again, with a little appreciation in his expression: "This young man has a good talent. ”
"Yes." Lin Li nodded, he knew that Gray was telling the truth, Sheen's talent was indeed too good to make people jealous, and his innate strength allowed him to reach the level of a warrior above level five without any training, if there is a real master, his future achievements are only limitless.
"Sheehan, what are you looking at?" Lin Li approached the honest young man, but found that he was looking around with a novel gaze.
"Watching them." Sheehan pointed his hand in the guild hall, the expression on his face was exaggerated: "I've never seen so many magicians......"
"You'll see you more often in the future, okay Sheehan, it's time for us to go......"
"Oh......" The honest young man nodded, reached out and picked up the two-handed sword leaning beside him, this is what Old Pollit just bought for him when he went out this morning, Lin Li's bottle of detoxification medicine solved all the problems, and also gave the father and son money to buy new weapons.
"I've got the weapon ready, so I'll put it in the Magic Guild." Lin Li shook his head and took out the two-handed sword wrapped in strips of cloth from behind him.
"This ......"
"What is this?" Lin Li forced the giant sword into Sheen's hand: "You are now the bodyguard I paid for, how can you protect me without a good weapon?" As for the thousand gold coins lent to you...... I'll deduct it from my remuneration when the time comes. ”
Gray sent the two of them outside the Emerald Tower, where a carriage had been waiting for a long time.
"Be careful along the way." sent Lin Li to the carriage all the way, and Grean did not forget to advise.
"I know, I know, don't be too anxious over there in the Demon Slayer Valley, if you can delay it, it's best to delay it first, and I'll talk about it when I come back from Orana."
"Well, have a nice trip!"
In the crisp sound of horses' hooves, the emerald tower gradually faded away.
Sheehan drove the carriage, the whip in his hand "snapped", and his dark face was full of excitement and satisfaction, and it was like a dream for him to be able to drive for the Wizard Ferrey.
Lin Li sat in the spacious carriage, a little drowsy with the bumps of the carriage, the tall spire of the Emerald Tower had disappeared from sight for a long time, and the scenery on both sides passed quickly, and before he knew it, he was getting farther and farther away from Garros.................. Blackstone Town is close to the Nightsong Forest, only a hundred miles away from Orlana, these two places, one is a low-level Warcraft paradise, and the other is the center of the Fran Kingdom, occupying such an important geographical location, Blackstone Town can be said to be blessed, whether it is an adventurer who hunts Warcraft, or a merchant who is familiar with the world, most of them will choose to take a break when passing through this town.
In just a few hundred years, hotels have sprung up in Blackstone, and now nine out of ten families in this town run inns.
The sky is getting dark, there is silence in the mountains, but there is a bustle in Blackstone Town, for the innkeepers, now is the best time of the day, the merchants who missed the lodging, the adventurers who have just come out of the Nightsong Forest, they are the best customers of the inn, five gold coins a night room, they live without even blinking an eye.
Compared to these high rollers, the Mr. Magician just now is much more stingy.
A room for one gold coin a night, or two people crammed into it.
"There is still such a poor magician......" The maid looked at Lin Li with some disdain, she looked very good-eyed, she didn't expect it to be so shabby, not to mention that she was squeezed into a room, and she was still wearing such an old mage robe...... After introducing the two into the room, the maid didn't even hint at a tip, and walked away with her ass twisted.
"The quality of the maids here is so high?" Lin Li couldn't help but be a little stunned, he was reaching out to take out the money, planning to give her two gold coins as a tip.
Fortunately, Lin Li didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise he would have died unjustly...... He wanted two rooms, but Sheen refused to live or die, saying that he was responsible for the safety of the Ferrey Magician, and he must protect him every step of the way...... "Now it depends on how you protect ......" Lin Li just walked into the room, his brows suddenly wrinkled, a room for a gold coin a night, it was really a little scary, just two beds and a table, it took up most of the space, plus Sheen squeezed in, the room suddenly seemed extremely crowded.
"Wizard Ferrey, you ......"
"Shut up!" Hearing Sheen's name for himself, Lin Li only felt an incomparably headache: "I've told you eight hundred times, don't call me any Ferre Magister, we are an employment relationship, do you understand the employment relationship?" Other words...... I give you money, you help me with my errands, we are equal in status, you can call me Ferrey, you can also call me Mr. Ferrey. ”
After speaking, he reminded viciously: "If you call the wrong one again, go back to Garros by yourself......
"Fee...... Mr. Ferry? ”
"Yes, that's good!" It still sounds a little awkward, but it doesn't matter, you should get used to it after calling a few more times, Lin Li comforted himself, and then took off his robe of furious flames and fell directly on the bed: "Hurry up and sleep, but don't snore!" ”
"I never snore......"
This big man, who is said to have never snored, lay on the bed for less than half an hour before almost collapsing the hotel.
"Well, you never snore...... You only thunder! Lin Li really has a dead heart, Sheen's terrible snoring is like the howl of a demonic beast, and the thunder after thunder alarmed the wind-scratching maid, and in the middle of the night, he also came to knock on Lin Li's door and reminded the magician that it is best not to use magic in the room, in case something is damaged, the compensation will be very expensive!
"......" Lin Li was about to defend himself, and by the way, when he made up for the tip just now, he suddenly heard a muffled "bang" coming from downstairs.
Then there was a jumble of footsteps, interspersed with inquiries from the innkeeper.
But what answered him was a resounding slap in the face.
"Smack!" This slap was loud and crisp, even if it was far away on the second floor, you could imagine the scene of half of the boss's face being swollen from that voice.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and in the blink of an eye they were up the stairs.
From that voice, there should have been more than a dozen people.
Before the wind scratched the maid to understand, more than a dozen people had already rushed up to the second floor.
The leader is a tall strong man, who looks about thirty years old, with a deep and long scar on his face, which looks extremely hideous, and a group of heavily armed subordinates behind him, one by one, looks fierce and vicious, when he walked in front of Lin Lifang, the strong man with a scar on his face did not stop, but glared at Lin Li very fiercely: "Take out all the valuable things, kneel at the door and wait for someone to collect, if you dare to hide a copper plate, you will die!" ”
"......" Lin Li stood at the door blankly, thinking with some doubts in his heart, could this be the legendary robbery? Holy, it's so exciting!
Then I saw that the group of strong men who were like wolves and tigers kicked open all the doors one by one.
There were so many muffled noises that even Sheehan woke up.
"Ferrey's magician...... Oh no, Mr. Ferry......" Sheehan got up from the bed with a drowsy face, rubbed his eyes, and leaned over to the door to Lin Li and asked, "What's going on?" ”
"Hahaha, we've been robbed!"
"......" The wind scratched the maid and looked at Lin Li's gaze, as if she was looking at a madman, this magician shouldn't be scared stupid, right? Knowing that he was robbed, he smiled so happily...... "Really? Sheehan's eyes lit up, and he was very excited to come up.
"Two perverted ......" Feng scratched the maid and scolded secretly, but the mood was extremely sad, and finally earned a little tip as a maid, but I didn't expect to be so unlucky, I actually met someone from the Blood Wolf Thieves Group...... Just as these two perverts were scrambling to look out, the doors of each room had been kicked open, and about thirty or forty guests were all kicked out, some of them were still wearing pajamas, while others were simply not wearing anything, and the only trace of sleepiness was also scared away by the bright weapons, and most of them were so frightened that their faces were pale and trembling, and they watched a group of robbers rush into their rooms.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now the robbery begins, please cooperate a little." A strong man with a scar on his face stood at the end of the hallway, proudly announcing the current situation to everyone.
"Now, please put all the valuable things at the door, and then kneel on the ground with your heads in your hands, our people will come to collect them soon, please cooperate a little, don't hide anything, otherwise something unpleasant may happen...... I repeat, please cooperate and don't hide anything! ”
"Rely on your mother's blood wolf thieves, Lao Tzu is a person with a silver hand, you have a kind of move Lao Tzu to try!" Just when everyone was at a loss, there was a commotion in a guest room, and a low-level adventurer was seen holding a scimitar and staring at the members of the Blood Wolf Thieves with a wary expression.
Lin Li shook his head with some regret, how could he not see in his eyes that the strength of this adventurer was really too poor, at most it was only three or four levels, and on the other hand, his enemies, the members of the Blood Wolf Thieves Group were all above level five, and the scar-faced strong man was at least level eight.
No wonder they dared to rob the Boulevard.
The Night Song Forest is a paradise for low-level magical beasts, and the nature that can only attract low-level adventurers, adventurers whose strength has reached level eight or above will not take a fancy to this place at all, the reward is too low, and those who have the strength of level eight or above, who will travel long distances for a dozen gold coins?
As for those caravans that can afford the protection of the mercenary group, how can they stay in Black Mountain? Casually set up a tent in the wilderness, protected by dozens or hundreds of mercenaries, which thief group ate the bear's heart leopard and dared to go up to find trouble?
Most of the people who will stay in Montenegro Town are only short-term trips from Orlana to surrounding cities, and the profits are not high, so it is naturally impossible to ask any mercenaries to protect them...... "This blood wolf thief group is quite ...... account"
