Chapter 214: Do You Want to Check It Out?
The streets of the southeastern city still look as bad as ever.
Muddy and dirty roads, mixed with urine and animal feces, and stinking stench, ragged children run barefoot around inside, while their fathers don't know what worse conditions to work in, and their mothers stand on the side of the street after finishing their household chores to see if they can get any business.
Fabino took out a handkerchief that had been prepared to cover his mouth and nose to avoid being smoked over, and the Empire's edict prohibiting the dumping of excrement was clearly not enforced here.
Fabino remembers that just five or six years ago, there was a serious plague outbreak here, which took about a third of the life, Fabino originally thought that there would be fewer people here, and some places did look a little lifeless at that time, but he didn't expect that soon after, with the influx of new immigrants and the birth of a group of newborns, the place became even more lively than before.
Fabino also had to admit that in terms of vitality, this ghost place is still quite tenacious.
But when he looked down on the street in the distance, his mood turned sour.
Because that is the place where he was robbed and beaten for the first time in the southeast city, Fabino has been held in the palm of his hand before because he is the only son in the family, and he has never heard a heavy sentence since he was a child, let alone being pressed to the ground and beaten, in a panic, he seemed to have eaten a few mouthfuls of mud, and it took Fabino half a year to convince himself that he was no longer entangled in what ingredients were contained in that mouthful of mud.
However, every time he revisits his old place, some shadows still uncontrollably appear in his heart.
But fortunately, when he feels uncomfortable, he can regain his lost sense of security by turning around and looking at the escort behind him.
However, the next moment, when he turned his head, the sense of security that he had just found and had not had time to warm up was suddenly thrown out of the clouds.
"What's the situation?!" Fabino's expression changed drastically, "Has the security in the southeast city deteriorated to such an extent, and the roadblocks and robberies have been escalated into the army, as for it, just to rob me?" ”
I saw a group of men in armor and armed to the teeth with weapons in their hands emerging from the other side of the street, steadily approaching Fabino's side.
And with Fabino's words, the guards around him also became nervous, and they all drew their weapons, looking like they were facing a great enemy, they could become the guards of the Fabino family, naturally they were not mediocre, many people had experience in the army, but because of this, they could better see how difficult the group of people on the other side was.
The other party is not only excellent in weapons and equipment, but also has a very unusual temperament, obviously they are all people who have seen blood, although the number of people is about the same as them, but it is still unknown whether they will win or lose.
The captain of the escort team was very conscientious, and said to the guards of the two patrols in a low voice, "You two take the adults away first, and we will help you drag the rest of the people." ”
So after that, Fabino was caught between the two guards, and he was about to flee for his life, Fabino had even begun to draft in his heart, and he didn't want to go back home, and planned to go directly to the Senate to complain, saying that the big and small forces in the southeast city were ready to rebel.
After that, he saw a person walk out of the group of unscrupulous guys, and said respectfully, "Lord Fabino, where are you going?" ”
"Ah...... Aris? Fabino was stunned when he heard this, and finally recognized the person.
The main reason is that the previous sunlight was too dazzling on the armor, so that he couldn't see the appearance of the group on the other side clearly, and Fabino didn't think about the patrol at all, how familiar he was with Aris's gang, they all looked bitter and hateful than him, no one asked for money, no money was needed, the armor was not ready, and it looked like a group called Hanako, and it had nothing to do with the team in front of him, which was very elite at first glance.
But I didn't expect that after two months of not seeing him, the man who was helpless about the situation in the southeast city and could only sigh for a long time actually regained his previous demeanor when he was in the army, and what surprised Fabino even more was that the rest of the patrol team had also changed a lot, and they no longer saw the cowering look they had before, but they were all full of confidence, which actually made Fabino have a trace of the feeling that they looked reliable.
Fabino shook and stole it, quickly driving this ridiculous idea out of his head, no, no, no, this is an illusion, it must be an illusion.
It's not that he looks down on Aris and his gang, but because he, as an assessor, is also very aware of the difficulties that Aris and them are facing, in Fabino's eyes, Aris can't be blamed for this, there is nothing to do about anyone facing such a bad situation, how long has the southeast city been in chaos, several emperors have not been in line, and it is not realistic to point to Aris and his gang to save the world.
But sympathy is sympathy, Fabino still scores the patrol according to the actual situation, as for the allocation of funds and manpower to the patrol team, he is not in charge, and he can't control it.
Therefore, Fabino is very strange now, after recognizing the person, he is not ready to run again, but he can't help but ask, "What the hell are you doing, where did this armor come from, why don't you return it quickly, and I don't deal with it like this, I don't know about your situation." ”
"Lord Fabino misunderstood, this is our own armor." Zhang Heng also walked out of the crowd at this time.
"Oh, you're the gladiator who came to the patrol to help, I've seen your performance, you're really good." Fabino did not hesitate to praise Zhang Heng, "Especially when you dealt with that crazy bison, you can actually achieve the final victory with only one rope, which is better than all the gladiators I have ever seen, but did you offend anyone, otherwise why was the first errand assigned here?" ”
"No, I asked to come here because I learned from Clinder about the situation in the southwest and wanted to do something about it." Zhang Hengdao.
"Do you want to do something for this place, what to do, a fire to burn this place clean?" Fabinocchi said, "This will cleanse this place of evil." ”
"No, I want to bring order back to this neighborhood."
"Hahaha, I still want to build a pyramid for myself," Fabino laughed halfway, retracting the cracked corners of his mouth, "Wait, are you serious?" ”
"Yes, I'm sure." Zhang Heng took out a wooden box from his arms and handed it to Fabino.
The latter's face sank, and he waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I'm different from the rest of the Senate, didn't Aris tell you, I don't eat this set, seeing that you are doing it for the first time, I won't pursue you, but if you dare to bribe next time, I will definitely let people arrest you." ”
"No, you misunderstood, this is not a bribe, I am just giving you back what belongs to you." ZHANG Hengdao,
"Huh?" Fabino raised his eyebrows, took the letter suspiciously, and opened it for a moment, because he actually saw in the wooden box the engagement ring he had lost six years ago, and some miscellaneous knick-knacks, all of which he had lost in that life-like robbery.
"In addition, we have caught the robbers who robbed you back then, but unfortunately three of them are dead, but the first offender is still there, and he is locked up in the prison where the patrol is stationed." Zhang Heng added, "Do you want to go and see it?" ”
